8th Gifhorn Oldtimer Mile

Classic Cars in the District Town

Since its inception, the Gifhorn Oldtimer Mile has become a fixed date in the South Lower Saxony classic car scene. With its 8th edition in 2026, it is one of the established events in the region. The mix of historic cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles is broad and appeals to a diverse audience.

Two Event Areas

A special feature of the Gifhorn Oldtimer Mile is its division into two locations: the Schlosswiesen (castle meadows) at Gifhorn Castle and the grounds of the International Mühlenmuseum (Mill Museum). Both locations have a distinct atmosphere – the castle as a historic building, the Mühlenmuseum with its unique mill architecture. The vehicles are presented particularly impressively against these backdrops.

Cars, Trucks, Buses, and Motorcycles

The spectrum of exhibited vehicles ranges from elegant sedans of the 1950s and 1960s to powerful sports cars and historic commercial vehicles – trucks from the post-war economic miracle era, classic buses, old ambulances. In addition, there are motorcycles from various decades: BMW, NSU, Zündapp, Harley-Davidson, Triumph. Those interested in automotive heritage will find a wide selection.
