Merks Motor Museum has been Nuremberg's first car museum since 2011 . It is located in the northeastern Schafhof district and consists of a private collection of the Merk family. It is part of the North Bavarian Industriestrasse .

history

The history of the collection began with the purchase of a Mercedes-Benz 220 S Cabriolet , built in 1957, which Claus Merk acquired in 1975 and renovated with his wife. As a result, the Merk family acquired additional vehicles and thus enlarged the collection. As a businessman who has been active in the real estate industry since the 1990s, Claus Merk acquired the site of the former Johann Schlee window factory in Klingenhofstrasse in the Schafhof district . After the two-year restoration of the former 2000 square meter production hall, the family set up Nuremberg's first car museum in it, which opened in April 2011.

In addition to 90 automobiles and 100 motorcycles, the exhibition also shows a collection of historic telephones, typewriters and radios, most of which are produced in Nuremberg. Around 2000 model cars are also on display, as well as a kitchen from the 1930s and an office from the 1950s. In addition, second-hand vintage magazines from various decades are available for purchase. It is also planned to join the museum with a bicycle exhibition comprising over 200 copies. Below is a selection of the objects shown:

Others

The museum also has a museum shop and a bistro that can be rented for private celebrations. In addition, auctions and flea markets are often held in the museum.
