Automobile Welt Eisenach Thuringian Forest & The Saale Valley

Housed in the 1936 Automobilwerk Eisenach (AWE) factory, this museum celebrates a history of auto-manufacture dating to 1896, when the first 'Wartburg' (based on the French Decauville) was produced. There are plenty of gems for rare-car enthusiasts, including an 1899 Wartburg Dixi, a 1936 BMW 328 sports model and other vintage vehicles and memorabilia, much from the GDR era.
