Immerse yourself in Karlsruhe's adventures and stories of development from two wheels to many wheels. Discover special exhibits on four floors, such as a draisine, historic bicycles, motorbikes, special vintage cars and a large model railway layout with trains from all eras, a Faller Car System layout with additional exhibition space for model railways through the ages.
Karlsruhe is an exciting historical location for this museum: the inventors Karl Freiherr Drais von Sauerbronn (1785 - 1851) and Karl Benz (1844 - 1929) are at home here. In 1817, Drais invented the single-track two-wheeler, on which you travelled sitting down and pushing off with your feet on the ground. In 1886, Mühlburg-born Karl Benz patented his three-wheeled motorised car - the world's first automobile.
The private museum is not just a show museum, but invites visitors to experience it. The volunteer enthusiasts bubble over with stories about the special gems during short guided tours and occasionally allow visitors to see a classic car from the inside. In addition to a changing permanent exhibition, the established format "Culture between old sheet metal" hosts events that lend a unique charm to book readings, cabaret and theatre performances in the midst of classic cars.
Since KAMUNA was founded, the Transport Museum has been one of ten museums in Karlsruhe to invite visitors to the Museum Night. The private museum is organised by the Deutsche Verkehrswacht im Stadt- und Landkreis Karlsruhe e.v. (German Road Safety Association).
Tip: If you want to get a digital flavour first, you can watch a short drone flight through three of the four floors on the homepage.
