About the MOTORWORLD Group
The independent MOTORWORLD Group emerged from the DÜNKEL Holding corporate group based in Schemmerhofen (Baden-Württemberg, Germany). The origins of the family-run company date back to 1930. The Motorworld Group, which has also received several international awards for its projects, develops, builds and operates worlds of experience dedicated to mobile passion, and as a whole is considered to be the world’s largest brand-neutral mobility centre. With over 40 of the world’s most valuable and exclusive vehicle brands, it brings together the brand who’s who of the entire mobility industry.
The first location was Motorworld Region Stuttgart in Böblingen, which opened in 2009 and has been continually expanded several times. Further projects and activities under the MOTORWORLD® brand have been initiated in recent years. Following on with the same concept as Motorworld Region Stuttgart, Motorworld Köln-Rheinland opened in June 2018. It is home to one of the most significant collections in motorsport: The private collection of Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher.
With Motorworld München, an automotive world of experiences in a new dimension was opened in May 2021. An imposing meeting place for car lovers and bikers of every hue. It is Munich’s new highlight for driving culture and lifestyle, as well as events and conferences. Visitors will find supercars, collectors’ cars, limited editions, classic cars and classics-to-be, bikes and boats, as well as a comprehensive spectrum of automotive service providers and specialised workshops, numerous shops, the four-star AMERON München Motorworld hotel, eight catering establishments, exceptional conference rooms, glass boxes for enthusiasts’ vehicles, and much more besides.
Motorworld München is located on the site of the former Deutsche Bahn railway repair shop, covering 75,000 square metres, in Munich’s Freimann district. Its centrepiece is the impressive Lokhalle, which is a listed building. With its gigantic dimensions – 185 metres long, 90 metres wide and 18 metres high – it is one of Europe’s largest self-supporting steel structure halls.
Other already partially active locations currently at the planning stage or under construction are Motorworld Zeche Ewald-Ruhr, Motorworld Luxembourg and Motorworld Mallorca. Locations in keeping with the Motorworld Manufaktur concept are to be found in Berlin, Rüsselsheim and Zurich. The Motorworld Village Metzingen focuses on events.
To satisfy the ever-increasing requirements where environmental protection and efficiency are concerned, the Motorworld Group relies on regenerative energy sources, including photovoltaic systems and combined heat and power plants. This saves over 700 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year.
