Motorradmuseum Schloss Augustusburg

Motorradmuseum Schloss Augustusburg showcases roughly 170 historic and rare motorcycles across about 1,200 m², tracing two‑wheel motor history from early machines to modern classics. The museum is part of the Schloss Augustusburg complex and sits in the castle’s former kitchen building.

Displays include notable marques and regional makers (DKW, Auto Union, MZ) plus rotating special exhibitions, interactive films and sound elements. Tickets are available on site and via the Die‑Sehenswerten‑Drei ticket offers, including multi‑museum options.

A focused, walkable presentation of motorcycling history with contextual displays, audiovisual elements and a changing special exhibition space.

Look out for:

• Rare and historic machines including DKW, Brough‑Superior and MZ prototypes.

• A large Zschopau production and racing heritage section (DKW/Auto Union/MZ).

• Interactive exhibits: films, sound simulators and a dedicated showroom.

• Rotating special exhibitions and themed displays.

Best way to experience it:

Allow 60–90 minutes to see the permanent collection and a special exhibition; combine the visit with other “Die Sehenswerten Drei” sites if you want a full day of regional heritage.

• Museum occupies the former castle kitchen; expect some historic building layout quirks.

• Included in combined/multi‑museum tickets sold through the Die‑Sehenswerten‑Drei shop.

• Exhibits include audiovisual elements—bring headphones if you prefer quieter viewing.

• Check the official site for current opening hours and special exhibition schedules before visiting.
