MOTORWORLD Manufaktur

Motorworld Manufaktur Berlin repurposes 40,000+ m² of historic industrial halls into a public automotive complex of showrooms, workshops, restaurants and event spaces. The site sits on a peninsula by the Havel near the Zitadelle in Spandau and highlights vintage and modern vehicles alongside hospitality and retail.

Admission to the public areas is free; the complex hosts guided tours, monthly car meets and booked events. Facilities include specialist dealers, workshops, a wine bar/delicatessen and conference/event venues, with further expansion planned in coming years.

A walkable complex combining restored industrial architecture, car showrooms and places to eat. Expect a mix of private collections, retailer displays and hospitality rather than a single curated museum collection.

Look out for:

• Restored halls showcasing classic and modern cars and specialist dealers.

• Motorcafé meetups and occasional classic/youngtimer gatherings (check schedule).

• On-site gastronomy: cafés, wine bar and deli for short stops or meals.

• Event spaces and periodic exhibitions—some areas may be reserved for private events.

Best way to experience it:

Arrive during daytime opening hours for casual browsing, combine a visit with a guided tour or the Motorcafé on scheduled Sundays, and allow time to explore showrooms and the waterfront setting.

• Public areas have free admission; individual businesses may set their own hours.

• Official opening hours are listed on the venue site; some dealers or cafés may differ.

• Events and parts of the site can be closed for private bookings—check the calendar.

• The site is large and spread across historic halls; wear comfortable shoes for walking.
