On the afternoon of Thursday, September 3rd, we will drive from the hotel to the world-renowned Grundmann VW collection. There, we will be given a guided tour exploring the early history of Volkswagen, featuring a host of vintage VWs—including the world's oldest VW Beetle (a pre-production model)—as well as special-bodied vehicles and numerous other rare Volkswagen and Porsche models.









On Friday morning, we will drive to the PS Speicher in Einbeck to tour the main museum. The afternoon allows time for individual visits to the PS Speicher’s various spectacular storage collections—featuring cars, trucks and buses, motorcycles, and small cars—or the "Treasure Chamber" (www.ps-speicher.de). Friday afternoon will also feature a parts market in the hotel parking lot, followed in the evening by the VW411-412 Friends annual general meeting for members. Non-members are warmly welcome!







On Saturday, the highlight of our meeting will take place. We will travel to Wolfsburg to visit the VW Automuseum (www.automuseum-volkswagen.de) and enjoy a guided tour of the collection and the engine cabinet, which features the model cars used for color approval by the board in the 1970s, including several VW411 models. Our tour will be led by a former VW employee who worked on the development of the VW411. He will also be happy to answer any questions you may have.
