Vintage Car & Parts Market (Oldtimer & Teilemarkt) Cottbus

The Vintage Car & Parts Market (Oldtimer & Teilemarkt) in Cottbus is a yearly event usually held in spring at the Cottbus Airfield Museum. It is organised by the Szymkowiak Project Centre and mainly focuses on spare parts and accessories for automobiles, tractors, and commercial vehicles from the period before World War II. The market also features classic brands of vintage cars, Eastern European vehicles, and historical military vehicles. Therefore, the principal themes include classic cars, Eastern European vehicles, historical military vehicles, original spare parts, tools, and other accessories. Numerous booths allow visitors, including hobbyists and collectors, to purchase necessary parts, search for rarities, and admire them. A highlight of the event is the parts market with an open meeting for vintage and classic cars. This is complemented by the Mega Meeting, which transforms the Cottbus Airfield into a parts warehouse and an open-air museum of vehicle history for a day. An extraordinary array of items is offered, especially for tractors, commercial vehicles, US cars, and military vehicles. A unique feature of this event is that anyone can participate, and parts sellers do not require registration. Exhibitors come from various sectors, including automotive, agriculture, and trade. The visitors typically consist of collectors, restorers, and enthusiasts of vintage and historical vehicles. The "Vintage Car & Parts Market" in Cottbus is just one of many trade fairs organised by the Szymkowiak Project Centre in various cities across Germany. In addition to Cottbus, these fairs also occur in Magdeburg, Riesa, Leipzig, Suhl, and Dresden. In conclusion, it is worth noting that the Cottbus Airfield Museum offers ample parking space for visitors. The city of Cottbus has a rich history and provides many attractions for those wishing to explore the city as well.
