Der kleine Autoladen

Der Kleine Autoladen is an independent model-car and model-building shop on Heger Straße in Osnabrück’s historic Altstadt, run by proprietor Alexandra von Kolontay since 1999. The shop stocks several thousand items across car, bus and lorry scales plus accessories and spare parts.

Expect a narrow, well-organised retail space where collectors and hobbyists can browse new releases, hard-to-find models and modelling supplies; staff can advise on scales, brands and parts but the venue is primarily a retail outlet rather than a museum or interactive attraction.

Browse closely packed shelves of boxed model cars, buses and commercial vehicles arranged by scale and brand; many European and niche manufacturers are represented.

Shop highlights:

• New-release and limited-edition diecast models on display near the counter.
• Shelves of kits, paints and detailing supplies for model-building and restoration.
• Spare parts and decals for repairing older models; staff can help locate replacements.
• Compact shop layout — expect to stand while browsing and limited room for large groups.

• Located in Osnabrück Altstadt with the entrance near Marienstraße; not directly car-accessible.
• Opening times vary by directory — confirm before visiting if travelling far.
• Small shop footprint; bring a bag for purchases if buying multiple items.
• Cash and card accepted (confirm card options with the shop).
