6. Oldtimertreffen Blumberg

Vintage Car Scene on the Baar

Blumberg is located in the Schwarzwald-Baar district, on the Baar plateau — the landscape between the Black Forest and the Swabian Jura, where the Danube and Wutach rivers begin their course. The town is known to railway enthusiasts for the Sauschwänzlebahn, a tourist museum railway operating between Blumberg-Zollhaus and Weizen. Once a year, a different mobility community gathers here: the vintage car scene.

Six Vintages of RMSV Blumberg

The Rad- und Motorsportverein Blumberg (RMSV) has been organizing its vintage car meeting since 2018 — 2026 will mark the 6th edition. The club, a classic South German sports club structure with cycling, motorsport, and social departments, uses the meeting as its main event and a showcase for the region's motorsport history.

Variety in the Fleet

Around 100 to 200 classic vehicles are expected — the exact number varies with the weather. The spectrum is wide:

• Pre-war classics — Mercedes, Horch, BMW, Adler from the 1920s and 1930s
• Economic Miracle icons — VW Beetle, Mercedes 190 Ponton, Borgward, Lloyd, Goggomobil
• 1960s to 1980s — Citroën DS, Porsche 911, Mercedes /8, MG B, Lotus, Austin Mini
• Youngtimers — VW Golf I, BMW E30, Mercedes 190E, Saab 900, Volvo 240 — the newcomers to the scene
• Motorcycles — Norton, BMW R, Vespa, Lambretta, Zündapp

Program on the Festival Day

The meeting begins at 10 a.m. with the arrival of the vehicles. By around 12 p.m., Leo-Wohleb-Straße is filled — the vehicles are freely accessible, owners chat with visitors, exchange restoration tips, and sources for spare parts. Lunch is served by the RMSV with sausages, schnitzel, fries, cake, and drinks. In the afternoon, there is usually a parade drive through the Wutachtal valley or a raffle — depending on the exact program. The event officially ends at 5 p.m.

Black Forest Day with Tradition

Visitors to the vintage car meeting can extend their day in one of the most beautiful regions of Southern Germany: hike the Wutach Gorge, take a ride on the Sauschwänzlebahn, visit Bad Wildbad, or hop across the nearby Swiss border to the canton of Schaffhausen — the possibilities are diverse. Getting to Blumberg is easy via the A81 / B27 or by train (Schwarzwaldbahn to Donaueschingen, then bus).
