About 15. Oldtimertreffen DoktorSee

The 15th Oldtimertreffen am DoktorSee will take place from July 31 to August 2, 2026, gathering enthusiasts of historic automobiles, motorcycles, and commercial vehicles at the idyllic campsite and leisure park southwest of Rinteln. Throughout the festival weekend, owners from the Weserbergland, Lower Saxony, and surrounding federal states will present their rolling treasures on the meadows by the lake. The meeting will be accompanied by a parts market for spare parts and accessories, a convivial supporting program, and culinary offerings. For families, the event offers a very special mix of technical history, summer atmosphere, and relaxed enjoyment by the water.

Tradition of the Oldtimer Scene

For 15 years now, oldtimer enthusiasts have gathered annually at DoktorSee to share their passion for historic vehicles for three days. What began as a small meeting has become a firm fixture in the North German oldtimer scene. The idyllic lakeside location, the large meadow areas, and the family-friendly atmosphere make the meeting a highlight in the calendars of many collectors.

Vehicle Parade on the Lake Meadows

Hundreds of historic vehicles will be parked on the extensive meadows around DoktorSee throughout the weekend: pre-war sedans, "Wirtschaftswunder" cars, sports cars from the 1960s and 70s, classic motorcycles and mopeds, historic tractors, and commercial vehicles. Owners are happy to answer questions about the history, technology, and restoration of their vehicles. Conversations arise between generations, the exchange of tips and memories.

Parts Market and Accessories

The accompanying parts market is an important meeting point for restorers looking for spare parts, literature, tools, and accessories. Dealers from all over North Germany set up their stalls, offering everything from rare carburetors to classic branded goods.

Atmosphere and Family Program

The combination of oldtimer fascination, summer atmosphere by the lake, and culinary offerings makes the meeting an experience for the whole family. Snack stands provide guests with bratwurst, fries, drinks, and light meals. Camping is possible through the leisure park.
