Nordenhamer Oldtimertage — 27th Meeting of Historic Vehicles on the Unterweser

Since its inception, the Nordenhamer Oldtimertage has developed into one of the most significant classic car events in northwestern Lower Saxony. With its 27th edition in 2026, Nordenham's market square will once again provide the setting for a weekend full of historic automobiles, classic motorcycles, and lovingly restored commercial vehicles.

Over 400 Vehicles at the Market Square

Vehicles built up to 1996 are permitted. The spectrum ranges from pre-war sedans to post-war roadsters and coupés from the 1950s and 1960s, and youngtimers from the 1980s and early 1990s. The organizers once again expect over 400 vehicles — making the Nordenhamer Oldtimertage a top-tier meeting in the North German classic car scene.

Saturday: Classic Car Rally from 10 AM

The event kicks off on Saturday with the classic car rally, which starts at 10 AM from the market square. The rally will take participants along selected routes through the Wesermarsch region — along the Weser river, through the rural landscape, and past characteristic buildings of the region. Participants will experience their vehicles in motion, while the public can follow the start and arrival at the market square.

Sunday: Exhibition, Jury, Parts Market, Fashion Cup

On Sunday, the exhibition takes center stage. A jury will assess the vehicles and award prizes in various categories. Simultaneously, the parts market opens, where private sellers and commercial dealers offer spare parts, accessories, and literature related to classic vehicles. A highlight is the Fashion Cup, where participants are judged in period clothing matching their vehicles.

For Fans and Families

The Nordenhamer Oldtimertage caters to both passionate collectors and families: the market square offers short distances, food stalls, and seating. Admission is free.
