PS.SPEICHER

Description

PS.SPEICHER is not a museum in the classical sense, but an experiential exhibition designed to inspire visitors and to continually offer new impulses through special exhibitions and changing presentations. It also houses several collections (model vehicles, automobiles, motorcycles, small cars, trucks + buses) and a TREASURE CHAMBER.

More than 400 exhibits in the main building — a former grain store — across six floors and around 5,000 m² of exhibition space vividly and interactively show how people have been getting around on wheels for 200 years. Visitors can experience first-hand under which political and social conditions tinkerers and inventors set their two-, three- and four-wheeled vehicles in motion with brilliant ideas and continually developed the technology. Unique historic motorcycles and automobiles are waiting to be discovered. Travel back to the "Golden Twenties" in a Hanomag Kommissbrot. Sit down in a typical 1950s milk bar and sway to the hits from the jukebox.

Since 2014, PS.SPEICHER in Einbeck has been captivating families, history enthusiasts and technology fans as Europe’s largest vintage-vehicle and experiential museum. Across more than 26,000 square metres the museum displays over 2,500 historic vehicles — from motorcycles, small cars and 15,000 model vehicles to trucks, buses and historic agricultural machines — spread over five sites throughout the town.

Rotating special exhibitions, driving experiences, a Porsche full-motion racing simulator and the option to rent a classic or youngtimer yourself make PS.SPEICHER a place full of nostalgia and special experiences. A varied programme of events such as Bikers' Day, "Kaffee & Karossen" and exciting rallies provides entertainment for all generations throughout the year.

Einbeck itself also has a lot to offer: the town delights with its centuries-old brewing tradition and is one of the most beautiful half-timbered towns in Germany.

Even after its opening in June 2014, PS.SPEICHER has continued to develop: to date a hotel with 63 double rooms, a total of 800 m² of special exhibition space and the PS.Halle have been opened on the site. With room for up to 1,000 people, this hall is also used for concerts, seminars and conferences. As a recognized extracurricular learning centre (BNE), PS.SPEICHER also offers educational programmes with hands-on activities.
