Museum für sächsische Fahrzeuge

A focused museum showcasing Saxony’s vehicle-making history across cars, motorcycles and bicycles in a compact 1,000 m² space. The permanent collection presents roughly 150–200 exhibits from more than 50 regional manufacturers.

Housed in the historic Stern‑Garagen multi‑storey garage in central Chemnitz, the museum pairs restored vehicles with rotating temporary exhibitions and a public events programme including guided tours and themed meetings.

Start with a concise timeline of Saxon manufacturers and then walk through rows of restored cars, motorcycles and bicycles arranged by era and maker.

Look out for:

• Early 20th‑century vehicles from regional makers and pre‑war prototypes.

• Restored motorcycles and rare bicycles illustrating local craftsmanship.

• The historic Stern‑Garagen architecture surrounding the displays.

• Temporary exhibitions and periodic themed displays that rotate through the year.

Best way to experience it: Arrive during opening hours (Tue–Sun, 10:00–17:00) and check the museum website or phone for current temporary exhibits and the schedule for the regular guided tour (listed as every 2nd Saturday at 14:00).
