22nd Pforzheim Economic Miracle

The Pforzheimer Wirtschaftswunder 2025 — the 21st edition — attracted tens of thousands of visitors to the Gold City's center, as it does every year. Cadillacs next to Trabis, Mercedes Pagodas next to Goggomobiles — the vintage car show transformed Marktplatz, Bertha-Benz-Platz, and Waisenhausplatz into an open-air museum of automotive history. On the Sparkassen stage at Leopoldplatz, live bands performed classics from the 50s and 60s, and shops invited visitors for Sunday shopping with spring offers. WSP — Wirtschaft und Stadtmarketing Pforzheim organized the festival under the proven motto “Everything was better back then” and once again proved that nostalgia has a special home in Pforzheim.
