Tractors on the Market Square
Wittlich is located in the transitional area between the Eifel, Mosel, and Hunsrück – a region with a strong agricultural tradition. The Tractor Meet is an annual meeting point for collectors, enthusiasts, and families who appreciate historic agricultural machinery. The focus is on vintage and modern tractors, from their early generations in the 1950s to younger models from the 1980s and 1990s.
Staging from 12:30 PM
On Sunday, May 3, 2026, the tractors will begin staging at 12:30 PM on the market square and in Neustraße in Wittlich's city center. In the following hours, visitors can stroll among the vehicles, chat with the owners, and admire the technical diversity – from bright red Porsche-Diesel tractors and sand-colored Hanomag models to classic Deutz, Fendt, Eicher, and International Harvester machines.
Joint Drive at 6:00 PM
The highlight is the joint drive at 6:00 PM. The tractors will form a convoy and drive out of the city center along a designated route via Himmeroder Straße. This spectacle attracts numerous spectators along the route.
Sunday Shopping
In parallel with the Tractor Meet, a Sunday shopping event is organized for Wittlich's businesses. This combination makes the day a vibrant urban experience: families can visit the Tractor Meet, browse the shops, stop by the city center's cafes and restaurants, and enjoy the spring day in an urban setting.
A Colorful Weekend for All Ages
The Tractor Meet is part of a "colorful weekend" with other events in Wittlich. The city uses the extended May weekend to attract families and day-trippers to the city center.
