Classic Days Grand Meeting — Rittergut Birkhof

From Schloss Dyck to Rittergut Birkhof

The Classic Days have been a fixture in the international classic car scene since 2006. After years at Schloss Dyck, the event now takes place under the name Grand Meeting at Rittergut Birkhof near Korschenbroich — and in 2026, the event runs from Friday, July 31, to Sunday, August 2. Organizers and the public agree: the move has given the event new energy.

40 Hectares, 2.6 km Racetrack, a Lifestyle Festival

Rittergut Birkhof in Lüttenglehn offers over 40 hectares of usable space — and a 2.6 km long demonstration racetrack specially built for the event. The concept is more than a classic car meet: it's a curated "automotive garden party" with lifestyle, culinary, and fashion components.

The Grand Meeting Areas

Lifestyle, Culinary Delights, Fashion

In addition to the vehicles, the atmosphere is shaped by curated lifestyle boutiques, gourmet stands from regional and international providers, fashion pop-ups, a dress code for the concours area, and a picnic format. The Grand Meeting explicitly sees itself as a "garden party" — relaxed, stylish, with champagne and parasols.

Korschenbroich and the Lower Rhine Stage

Korschenbroich is located in the Rhein-Kreis Neuss district in North Rhine-Westphalia, in the western Lower Rhine region between Mönchengladbach and Neuss. The Lüttenglehn district — known for its preserved manor estate — forms the rural backdrop that gives the Classic Days their special character: wide meadows, old tree-lined avenues, a historic manor house.
