Im from Germany and this is the first time I hear of that museum. Already planning a trip. Gotta see that. What an insane collection with the most outstanding cars. Wild
Philip Kaess did a video earlier that year. and as I remember he mentioned, that the collection was privat and now they open the doors for the public. So it is a new "museum".
The museum was opened in July 2023. The collection belongs to Friedhelm Loh. He is the owner of the Friedhelm Loh Group and is one of the 20 wealthiest people in Germany.
I actually work part-time at this museum. It costs 26 Euros for a combi ticket and often there are car clubs displaying their cars in the court yard. I never know what to expect when I show up to work. And not only is there a great restaurant, there is also a food trailer outside that serves good food too. Tours are available in German and English, but book that a head of time with the office. The gift shop has some limited edition models of some of the cars. It's really nice to work there
Thanks for not rushing past all the older classic cars. Car nerds like us should know and enjoy all eras of the automotive history, because the more you know, the more you see. Awesome place indeed!
What an unbelievable collection of cars. Only in a collection like this can a 12-14 million dollar Jaguar XKSS blend into a giant display and not even be mentioned.
OMG! I can't believe you didn't mention this gorgeous Jag during the video. You keep panning past it & I'm talking to my screen asking what Jag is it. I'm so glad it's now been revealed as a XKSS, very very stunning vehicle. I absolutely love the C & D types & the vintage XK series. What an amazing collection, I really enjoyed this tour. Cheers Shmee.
The cars are undoubtebly amazing, but what's really blowing me away is the fact that, in what looks like a single take, Tim has spent over well 20mins talking knowledgeably about each and every car. Incredible stuff Tim, chapeau to you!
I’ve never seen a shmee video where you are almost stumbling over your words because of how overwhelming the collection is. Honestly mind blowing and a new life goal to see this collection in person. It might be the best automotive museum ever full stop.
Danm shmmee!! You are really really knowledgeable.. the fact that named all those cars and the stories. You take your job pretty serious. You very humble, and have done a lot of research. Thanks for the video
Been there last year. Magnificent collection and great to see they rearranged it compared to last year. Planning to go there again some day. Very well presented
This collection is owned by Friedhelm Loh a German industrialist who was given an electrical startup company in 1961 by his father Rudolf Loh. Rudolf Loh was a Nazi who served in WWII and was in both the western front fighting against the US Army and later transferrred to the Eastern front where he was wounded in battle against the Soviets. After recovering from his wounds he was assigned to Peenemunde where he worked on the Nazi nuclear program as well as the control systems for the V2 rocket. There are unanswered questions about the source of his financing which allowed him to begin a manufacturing business immediately after the end of the war at which time Germany was totally devastated and most people struggled to find food.
From every person who had a matchbox car collection as a child and used to subconsciously transport themselves into that miniature world as they stacked those models neatly next to one another on the floors and table tops. Thank you for making that dream a reality.
This collection is pure class. Probably the best you have ever shown us, Tim. Yes there are bigger collections, but this is on a different level all together.
This is just a small part of the collection, the owner has in excess of 500 cars but most are in storage. The museum has one fixed exhibition and one varying so they keep rotating some cars based on the theme of the exhibition
Tim, you are the only person that can do a 'one take' on such a collection! Brain overload 😂. Keep up the great work, as always!. And props to the camera girl keeping up with you 👏
My passion for cars comes from my grandmother and dad who grew up in a house (the same house where my grandmother still lives) literally 12 km from where this has now opened and we had no idea. Thank you very much Tim, I look forward to bring them both next time I visit!
shmee , my friend that w126 380 SEC boss livery is so much more rare that those 2 w201 190 dtm cars. that car is so special because w126 c126's weren't raced like w201's. they have many many 190's but have you seen another sec set up for racing. oh man i wish you could have got some video or some info on exactly what it was used as and history. what an amazing video. no one has ever given as much nor had access to what you have given us your fans. you have truly done far more to get the highest quality content its unbelievable and we cant thank you or express how much you've given the cat world. extraordinary and nothing but positivity been a role model for everyone to aspire to be like. thank you. cheers
Most amazing collection ever not by just the worth of the collection. History and emotions are everywhere. Whoever is choose and gather the cars is a man of a culture. Let alone Nicky's signed f1 car, 330p3, f2004 and f2007 contains so much emotion and drama. Actual Kimi's f2007 raced in Brazil won by 1 point. I will definitely visit this place.
Well looks like I’m heading to Germany this summer. The fact there are collections that are amazing, with re creations of these cars.. Then there is this. Absolutely un-believable.
Thats an awesome collection imagine getting to choose one Also i rly like that they put some effort into placing them nicely and adding some scenery etc, great job by the owners!
I love your passion, and love watching you when you talk about cars in a collection/museum. How you remember all the cars as you walk around. Fantastic
Who is this Shmee impersonator excitedly and knowledgeably delving into the details of coachbuilt prewar cars?? In all seriousness, I applaud you for doing your homework and giving a comprehensive tour of this bonkers collection, especially when classics haven't seemed to interest you much in the past. It was clear that you gained a greater appreciation for how the historic informs the present, and I really enjoyed this vid. Cheeeeeeers!
I've watched every single video of walking around car collections and I've stupidly become blasé when it comes to seeing the certain cars that are always in most collections but this has to be the most amazing collection I have seen on your channel! 😮😮😮 Just gob smacking and a fantastic video too! Thank you 😀
hey shmee, in july i will go to europe for the first time, and i use your videos as a guide to where i will go, will be going to goodwood and a few other places, i will definitely be going to this museum
It amazes me that the prototype DB 4 GT is just sitting behind other cars, in a corner. A car that normally would be out front, a main attraction if you please, yet here it’s a foot note in automotive history. Absolutely mind boggling if you ask me, what a collection.
I know there are some labels around, but the way Shmee rattles off information is spectacular. Never ceases to amaze me. It's not like he's staring at the labels that are available and reading them to us.
Its in Siegerland an the Man how create this is an Industry Business Man ! He collect more than 40 years ! The Collection is in a Holding and the Museum present on his hometown!
Absolutely love these videos, the knowledge and history recall is incredible! On a side-note, please sort out your microphone levels, increasing volume because I can't hear, and then having my earholes blown out in the next scene is really letting the side down 😭
Ive always loved the Mercedes C111.....the first time as a kid that I saw gull wing doors, I remember thinking they were super cool. Loooove the 959 🥰🥰🥰🥰
That's an amazing, well displayed car collection and it's great that the general public can visit it, even though it's privately owned. I hope I will have the chance to visit this place myself one day. Great presentation by the way, you are like a living car encyclopedia.

@@Haderate Shmee niples told the same history the whole video. I was the owner of the entire collection
first time im hearing from that too and the funny thing is i live like 20 min away from the museum xDD
Lohnt sich vor allem mit Ferrari Austellung
The museum was opened in July 2023. The collection belongs to Friedhelm Loh. He is the owner of the Friedhelm Loh Group and is one of the 20 wealthiest people in Germany.
That building is worth more than some countries for sure
“Decent Money”, what are you, a Trillionaire?
Bro no way
The owner of this collection is a german business man and also a billionaire. Friedhelm Loh.
There are other garages around at the property where they store another around 500 cars..

Tim, your knowledge and presentation of the facts and history of the vehicles is outstanding, so professional.

Those cars from the 2s, 30s and 40s are just so awsome. Really badass design.

The knowledge Tim has is unmatched. I'm always so impressed when he casually walks around a collection and knows pretty much everything.
Been there last year. Magnificent collection and great to see they rearranged it compared to last year. Planning to go there again some day. Very well presented
Been loving the content. It’s always cool to see these collections that we normally don’t get to! Keep up the good work Tim.

I will state that even people with unlimited funds could ever assemble a collection like this . This goes beyond money , and probably never repeated !

Thanks for the kind words
What an unbelievable collection. I can hardly believe it!
Thank you, Tim!!
What an impressive place to keep them !
Thanks Shmee for the video
I have seen some crazy collections, but this one is definitely at the very top. The history of it alone is next level
I sat for 30 minutes in absolute awe watching this collection. A masterpiece as a whole. Gotta see it in person too!
And this is why cars with engines are timeless... Why do I have sudden urge to visit Germany and go to a museum? :)

There is an actual garage/barn find. A 1960 VW donut Van that was forgotten in a heated garage and is still in original condition
Amazing collection of unbelievable vehicles, the architecture of the building, and the way everything is displayed. Pure eye candy.
Tims breath and depth of car knowledge always blows me away !!!!
This was absolutely amazing to watch, thank you for sharing!
Only in such incredible place, you can forgot the XKSS or the 155 DTM! Mind-blowing Museum🤩

One of your best videos covering an amazing collection of automobiles!
To visit and photograph these cars would be a blessing! Great find.

The fact there are collections that are amazing, with re creations of these cars.. Then there is this. Absolutely un-believable.
Shmee outstanding video from a true petrolhead... thank you very much. You helped us travel there through your words... cheers!!!
Good to see a CLR back in one piece , brought back memories of long winter nights glueing the chassis together
Thats an awesome collection imagine getting to choose one
Also i rly like that they put some effort into placing them nicely and adding some scenery etc, great job by the owners!
this might be the most insane car collections ever. i got to visit this in the future, what an amazing car museum
I was invited to this museum yesterday for a full guided tour by one of the employees whilst the museum was closed.
Full kid in a sweet shop moment!
Gorgeous place to go with some lovely cars on display 👍
I love your passion, and love watching you when you talk about cars in a collection/museum. How you remember all the cars as you walk around. Fantastic
Hey Shmee could you do a short on how you're able to memorize all these car facts?? Because wow your car knowledge is unmatched
been thinking the same thing😆
Probably a good amount of preparation before these videos, its a presentation afterall.
How is Shmee not a Top Gear host? You're very good on camera
Wow! A breathtaking collection.
One of the best collections I have seen, very diverse and unique portfolio. Excellent presentation Tim!
The car collection videos are the best !
