Motorworld Manufaktur Metzingen is celebrating the arrival of its first tenants, Bitter Automotive and Bockemühl Classic-Cars, with a warm-up event on May 5, 2019. Between unusual vehicles and rare classics, visitors will be able to experience how new space for mobile passion is being created in the listed industrial buildings on Auchtertstrasse.
Motorworld Manufaktur Metzingen welcomes all car and motorcycle enthusiasts from the region and anyone else who would like to take a look inside the historic halls to the warm-up event from 11 am to 5 pm. At the warm-up, visitors can expect vehicles from many eras, numerous exhibitors, guided tours of the grounds, live music, forging demonstrations and a street food market. Admission is free.
On the Henning Schmiedetechnik site, Motorworld Manufaktur Metzingen is currently being created as a lively place for classic mobility with workshops, showrooms, craftsmanship, accessory sales, lifestyle stores, restaurants, event areas and the V8 Hotel. To this end, the historic industrial buildings on the 21,000 square meter site are gradually being lovingly renovated, with the Mittlere Schmiede and Schmiede-Lounge already being used in their original state as exceptional event locations.
Bitter Automobile - classic and modern
The first building to be completed is the Alte Härterei, into which Bitter Automotive is now moving. On offer: classic and new cars from the Bitter brand as well as all kinds of accessories. The car manufacturer refines Opel models such as the Adam, Adam S, Mokka X and Insignia. Then as now, it follows the same concept: Bitter Automotive packs Opel's unproblematic and robust mass-produced technology into a beautiful shell and equips it with luxury-class interior materials. At the opening, the company is not only presenting its product range, but also its exciting history.
Bockemühl Classic-Cars - a mecca for classic car fans
Bockemühl Classic-Cars also occupies the Alte Härterei and the barrel-roof building, which is located directly on Auchtertstrasse. Classic car enthusiasts will get their money's worth here. At Bockemühl Classic-Cars, you can buy and sell high-quality classic cars and hand them over to the master workshop for restoration, repair or maintenance, or to the experienced staff for professional refurbishment.
Heritage store for tough bikers
The hearts of motorcycle fans will beat faster in spring 2020 when Bike Schmiede Metzingen opens the Heritage Store. Here you will find authentic Indian bikes from Indian Motorcycle, high-quality motorcycle clothing and accessories, exclusive whisky and Laura Chavin cigars as well as the "Jack the Ripper" barber. In line with the service concept "more bike, more experience", Bike Schmiede Metzingen also organizes test rides and excursions to events, across the Alps, etc. The company has specialized in customizing motorized US two-wheelers for over 25 years.
Motorworld Manufaktur Metzingen is located just 35 kilometers from the gates of Stuttgart on the edge of the Swabian Alb in the immediate vicinity of the internationally renowned outlet city of Metzingen. The revitalization of the area will create numerous new jobs in the coming years. The classic manufacturing industry complements the Outlet City's offering. The planned expansion with restaurants, hotels as well as event and conference areas will enhance the location and make it attractive for both the population and companies. The project is being planned and supervised by the architectural firm CIP from Stuttgart.
