According to the same concept, Motorworld Köln-Rheinland will open at Butzweilerstraße 35-39 at Nicolaus August Otto-Park in 50829 Cologne on June 16, 2018, but in one essential respect it differs enormously from the other houses.

The location Butzweiler Hof is known to many in Cologne as a production facility of many television studios as in the past as an airfield of the early years. Back in 1910, clever contemporaries tried to overcome the laws of gravity. Twenty years later, the area was considered the air cross of the West. The most famous start was that of the zeppelin "Hindenburg", who later crashed in New York. Now, parts of the historic ensemble become a meeting place for car lovers. Stylish new buildings have grown into the old substance in order to offer fans over 50,000 square meters of showrooms, workshops, conference and hotel facilities and cars for sale.

Michael Schumacher at Motorworld

But with all the positive qualities that the Motorworld Köln-Rheinland brings along, it will especially attract visitors through the Michael Schumacher Private Collection, because Motorworld presents one of the world's most important collections of motorsport as a permanent exhibition: the private collection of Formula 1 Legend Michael Schumacher. To be admired are karts of his early days, sports cars, trophies, unique mementos and of course a large part of his F1 cars with which he was seven times world champion. This makes the Michael Schumacher Private Collection a perfect home in two respects, as Motorworld not only offers a stylish stage for these treasures, but is also very close to Schumacher's hometown Kerpen. This alone makes a visit to the Butzweiler Hof a unique experience.
