The Prototyp Car Museum is a tourist attraction in the immediate vicinity of the Elbphilharmonie and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Speicherstadt. Whether you’re visiting Hamburg for an extended vacation, planning a short city break, or simply want to spend a rainy day with the family, the museum offers a unique experience for car enthusiasts. The historic factory building from 1904, which has been carefully renovated and listed as a historical monument, combines tradition and modernity and serves not only as a museum, but also as an event location in Hamburg’s HafenCity.
It offers the ideal ambience for events, meetings, company anniversaries and product presentations, and the brand-independent museum presents an impressive permanent exhibition based on the collection of the two museum founders and includes a wide range of vehicles, including one-offs from Volkswagen and Porsche, as well as classic cars, commercial vehicles and rare models from other brands.
