NIMAK - Auto Focus 2021

RECREATIONAL TIP : Our „TÜNKERS Eastern Expert“, Dieter Rauschenbach, recommends the city of Zwickau as a recreational tip for the region around Zwickau, which – together with the Horch Museum – is a must for every car enthusiast. Zwickau is about the same size as Ratingen and, like the Ruhr region, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hard coal and the automotive industry have shaped the development of the town at the entrance to the Western Ore Mountains and the Vogtland, not far from the Czech border. At the impressive Central Market, you can admire colourful old buildings from different periods. The Gewandhaus, which is now used as a theatre, is an architectural highlight alongside the Robert Schumann House, the cathedral, the 15th century Dünnebierhaus and the Osterstein Castle. However, the main attraction for technology fans is the August Horch Museum in the oldest part of the former Audi plant. The flair of bygone times is reactivated with the help of affectionate stagings. You‘ll find the Auto Union car brands – Audi, Horch, DKW, and Wanderer – in a re-enactment of a 1930s-style street. Among other things, the museum‘s extension is dedicated to racing in the late 1920s and 30s. This is followed by automobile manufacturing in Zwickau after 1945: From immediate post-war production to the Trabant to VW‘s current production in Zwickau-Mosel.
