Harzer Bike Schmiede

Harzer Bike Schmiede is a private technology and vehicle museum in Zilly (Osterwieck) displaying a large collection of historic motorcycles, cars and eccentric custom builds. The collection is presented by owners Tilo and Wilfried Niebel and includes automobilia and workshop artefacts.

The venue also hosts an annual bikers' festival and appears on local tourism and municipal listings. Contact details are published on the official site (phone and email) and the museum maintains an online gallery and imprint with ownership and legal info.

A compact, workshop-style museum where vehicles are grouped like a private collection rather than a large national museum.

Look out for:

• Historic motorcycles and cars across eras.

• Unusual custom builds, including the locally noted “Panzerbike”.

• Automotive tools, signage and automobilia displayed alongside vehicles.

• Special events such as the annual Bikerschmiede festival and occasional meetups.

Best way to experience it:

Arrive prepared to walk through a dense, workshop-like display; check the official site or contact the museum before visiting to confirm open days or event schedules. Use the site’s contact info for up-to-date visitor arrangements.

• Confirm opening days and any event closures via the official contact before travel.

• Official imprint address lists Neue Sorge, 38835 Zilly; municipal listings also cite Hauptstraße 47a.

• Phone and email are published on the official site for enquiries (use those to check visits).

• The collection is privately run—expect a small‑museum, hands-on atmosphere rather than formal galleries.
