About Ackeroldies Tractor Meet

The Ackeroldies Tractor Meet in Berne is one of the largest gatherings of historic agricultural and towing machinery in the southern Wesermarsch region. For three days, the Juliusplate campsite on the Weser dike transforms into a vibrant open-air exhibition with over 60 registered vehicles. Classic tractors, rare special models, meticulously restored vintage vehicles, and curious agricultural machines line up in the festival grounds, are demonstrated, and enthusiasts engage in lively discussions. The meet brings together lovers of old technology, farming families from the Wesermarsch, and day visitors who simply want to stroll through the gleaming rows of historic machinery. Food, live music, and a relaxed village atmosphere complete the program.

Meeting Point for Lovers of Historic Agricultural Technology

The Ackeroldies Wesermarsch is an association of enthusiasts and restorers of historic agricultural machinery. Their annual meeting at the Juliusplate campsite has become a firm fixture in the North German vintage vehicle calendar. Over 60 vehicles are registered each year – from classic Lanz Bulldog and Eicher Diesel to Deutz, Hanomag, and Massey Ferguson, as well as rare North German custom builds. Many machines have been lovingly restored over years in garages and barns and are proudly presented here.

Three Days of Program on the Weser Dike

The meet spans three days. The first participants arrive on Friday and set up their pitches. Saturday and Sunday are the main days with demonstrations, parade rides through Berne, hands-on activities for children, and extensive technical discussions. Live music and catering stands provide food and atmosphere. Those who don't own a vintage vehicle themselves can stroll around the grounds, chat with the owners, and experience a piece of agricultural technology history.

Wesermarsch Atmosphere

The location on the Weser dike gives the meet a special charm: while the tractors are on the festival grounds, freighters and sports boats pass by on the Weser. Walks on the dike are part of the program for many visitors. The atmosphere is warm and unpretentious – a true enthusiasts' meet that is also open to families and day visitors.

Ackeroldies Tractor Meet — edition 2026

From September 4th to 6th, 2026, lovers of historic agricultural technology will once again gather at the Juliusplate campsite in Berne. Over 60 registered vehicles – tractors, rare special models, and old agricultural machinery – are announced. Demonstrations, parade rides through Berne, and hands-on activities for children form the program. Live music and catering stands provide atmosphere and refreshments.
