'We're looking forward to welcome again many fans of 'Classics & Coffee' with their vehicles and stories to our hill again. With its relaxed, informal atmosphere, the classic car meet has established itself as an event whose appeal extends throughout the region and beyond'.
Bettina Haussmann, Director Mercedes-Benz Museum
Variety is the spice of this series of events - young classics with just 20 years under their belts meet automotive witnesses of a bygone age. Be it lovingly maintained sports cars from the Wirtschaftswunder era, luxury saloons from the 1980s, muscle cars or legendary Unimog vehicles - these are just some of the vehicle models that make up the colourful field at the meet. The open concept behind 'Classics & Coffee' fits in with this kaleidoscope of mobility history. Vehicles of all brands are invited, booking is not necessary and participation is free of charge. Those with a keen interest who don't own a classic car can also simply drop by.
From super sports cars to commercial vehicles
Events focussing on specific topics are very popular. Ten such events are planned for 2024, at which the following classic cars will take centre stage alongside all other vehicles:

There will be no 'Classics & Coffee' on 23 June and 21 July 2024 due to other events in the NeckarPark.
'Classics & Coffee' not only offers classic cars, but also delicious coffee. In addition to this pick-me-up, the culinary offerings in the museum's outdoor area also include many other summertime drinks and food.
The start of 'Classics & Coffee' also marks the season opening of the Mercedes-Benz Museum's open-air programme, which includes, for example, the 'Urban Culture at the Mercedes-Benz Museum' series in partnership with creative artists from the city and region, the open-air cinema with cinematic highlights under the stars, as well as the children's and family day. This will take place on 30 June 2024 - with numerous free events for young and old.
