Vintage Car & Parts Market (Oldtimer & Teilemarkt) Leipzig

The Oldtimer & Parts Market in Leipzig is a popular annual public fair with cult status, and ranks among the largest and most diverse meeting points for enthusiasts of historic vehicles in central Germany. Organized by Projektzentrum Szymkowiak – a long-established event organizer with a successful track record in cities such as Magdeburg, Riesa, Cottbus, Suhl, and Dresden – the AGRA fairground transforms for one selected day in late summer, typically in September or October, into a hub for collectors, tinkerers, and scene insiders.

Unlike many classic car events, the focus here is not on the presentation of perfectly restored vehicles, but rather on the active trade of rare spare parts, original accessories, and automotive historical rarities. What sets the Leipzig edition apart is its unique blend of marketplace, specialist exchange, and community gathering. The emphasis is clearly on the sale, purchase, and exchange of parts and vehicles from all eras – from pre-war models and East German classics to American cars. The range of items is as extensive as it is specialized: from NOS (New Old Stock) and refurbished components to vintage gas station emblems, classic workshop signs, model cars, automobilia, specialist literature, and dedicated care products – everything that makes the hearts of oldtimer enthusiasts beat faster is represented.

The offering is rounded off by a wide array of services, ranging from upholstery work and chrome plating to engine overhauls. The event appeals equally to ambitious private restorers and experienced professional dealers, with vehicles available in all conditions – from untouched projects to fully restored classics.

A standout feature of the market is its hands-on, practical approach: no advance registration is required for spare parts sellers, adding to the lively and spontaneous atmosphere. Visitors arriving in a classic vehicle are granted free admission, turning the entire site into a rolling open-air museum. Particularly impressive is the variety of historic commercial vehicles, tractors, and military vehicles that come together.

The AGRA fairground offers the perfect setting for all of this, with its spacious layout, well-developed infrastructure, convenient transport connections, and ample parking. For one day, it becomes a spare parts department store and a gathering place for automotive history. Its location in Leipzig – a city rich in industrial heritage, cultural diversity, and architectural charm – further enhances the experience.

Since its inception, the Oldtimer & Parts Market Leipzig has established itself as a hands-on platform for authentic vehicle culture, technical expertise, and passionate engagement. It’s not a nostalgic look back, but a vibrant meeting point for everyone with a heartfelt and hands-on connection to the world of classic vehicles.

The Vintage Car & Parts Market (Oldtimer & Teilemarkt) takes place annually, and therefore for the thirteenth time previsibly in September 2026 in Leipzig.
