About Classic Car Meet Altenkirchen

The 4th Young and Classic Car Meet of MSC Altenkirchen e.V. is a Pentecost gathering for lovers of historic vehicles in the Westerwald region. On Whit Sunday, May 24, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Graf-Zeppelin-Straße in Altenkirchen will transform into an open-air exhibition featuring vehicles at least 20 years old. Classic sports cars, distinctive sedans, Beetles, Karmann Ghias, Mercedes sedans, BMW classics, Porsches, US cars, and motorcycles will gather for a colorful overview of automotive history. Organized by the Motorsportclub Altenkirchen under the umbrella of the ADAC, the meet is open to registered drivers and free for visitors.

MSC Altenkirchen e.V. im ADAC

The Motorsportclub Altenkirchen e.V. im ADAC is the central motorsport club of the district town in the Westerwald. As a member of the Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club, it organizes events for motorsport enthusiasts of all disciplines—from slalom competitions and classic car meets to skill driving tests. The Young and Classic Car Meet has established itself as an annual Pentecost fixture since its first edition in 2023 and is growing year by year.

Fourth Edition 2026

With its 4th edition in 2026, the meet has become a firm fixture on the Westerwald event calendar. The previous editions have attracted interest from all over northern Rhineland-Palatinate, the Siegerland region, and the Cologne-Bonn area—consequently, participation in terms of vehicles and visitors is high.

Vehicles 20 Years and Older

Vehicles at least 20 years old are eligible to participate. This generous definition includes classic cars (over 30 years old) as well as youngtimers (20 to 30 years old). From the VW Beetle and Beetle Cabriolet to various generations of the Porsche 911, BMW E30/E36, Mercedes W123/W124, Karmann-Ghia, US muscle cars, to classic motorcycles and mopeds—the spectrum is broad.

Graf-Zeppelin-Straße as an Open-Air Exhibition

Graf-Zeppelin-Straße in Altenkirchen will be closed off for the meet and will serve as an open-air exhibition space. The vehicles will be presented in an orderly fashion, allowing visitors to stroll among them, chat with owners, and take photos. Drivers are often available to answer questions about history, restoration, and technical details.

Whit Sunday as a Family Event

Whit Sunday is ideal for a family outing—many visitors combine the classic car meet with a Pentecost excursion into the Westerwald, a picnic, or a trip into Altenkirchen's town center. Food and drinks, including bratwurst, cake, and beverages, will be available on-site. Admission is free.
