Since 2008 we share our enthusiasm and passion with you. What began more than 25 years ago in a garage belonging to the two museum founders is now Automuseum PROTOTYP. The German term “PKW” meaning “Personen. Kraft. Wagen.” (directly translated: “People. Power. Cars.”) refers to a passenger car. This term captures what we are all about. We give you insight into the lives of inspiring personalities from the automotive world; we delve into the power behind their creativity and their willingness to take risks, about the power of the engines, and we bring to you a hand-picked selection of cars from 80 years of automotive history – from the era of sport and racing.

Find extraordinary top-of-the-range vehicles ranging from the original Porsche 64 from 1939 to modern Formula 1 race cars, as well as getting an insight into the lives of racing legends such as Graf Trips and world-class design engineers such as Prof. Porsche!

Automuseum PROTOTYP is one of Hamburg’s top sights, in close proximity to the Elbphilharmonie concert hall and the UNESCO world heritage site, the Speicherstadt district. So whether you are planning your holidays in Hamburg or just coming for a fleeting city break, whether it is a rainy day and you are organising a day trip with your family, or you simply wish to be an excellent tour guide of Hamburg’s top sights for your friends: our car museum is always among the “Things to do in Hamburg” and is a real insiders’ tip.

In addition to this, we offer fantastic event spaces right at the heart of the HafenCity. If you are planning an event in Hamburg, e.g. a corporate event, a wedding venue or renting out the perfect room for your Christmas get-together, we look forward to your request!
