Hidden within Frankfurt’s vibrant east end, Klassikstadt awaits. This isn’t just another museum. Klassikstadt breathes life into automotive history. Klassikstadt resides within the walls of a former agricultural machinery factory. The Mayfarth factory, built in 1910, has stood the test of time. Its historic brick facade and arched windows whisper tales of a century past. Klassikstadt opened its doors in November 2010, after two years of careful restoration. Imagine this vast 20,000 square meter space. It once housed machinery, then 50 DM bills at the Bundesdruckerei, and later, uniforms for the Federal Customs. Now, it’s a sanctuary for classic car enthusiasts. Klassikstadt is part of the Route of Industrial Heritage. It’s a testament to the enduring spirit of industry and innovation. Inside, workshops hum with activity. Glass workshops, watchmakers, and saddlers work alongside mechanics. They meticulously restore vintage engines. Dealerships showcase high-end exotics and vintage automobiles. Even if you’re not in the market for a classic car, there’s something for everyone. Explore shops filled with miniature cars and automotive memorabilia. Wander through the second and third floors. Admire the youngtimers on display, some awaiting their owners, others for sale. Klassikstadt is a haven for car lovers. It’s a place where history comes alive.
