Got home this evening after a very enjoyable three nights in East Germany.
We made it to all three museums, Horch in Zwickau, Wartburg in Eisenach, and last but not least, the Barkas/Framo museum in Frankenburg near Chemnitz.
The German's certainly know how to 'do' museums and all three were immaculately kept, with stunning cars on show and plenty of information available.
The Horch museum is a classy, no expense spared, monument to Horch, Dkw, Wanderer, Auto Union, Audi and of course Trabants and was funded a large part of the way by Audi themselves, as the street the museum is located on is called AudiStrauss ( Audi Street).
The Wartburg and particularly the Barkas museums are much smaller, more low key affairs, but with a certain charm of their own.
We also got to meet a genuine, Trabant rally driver who by day, works for VW designing cars and by weekend is rallying his Trabant in meets all over Germany.
Much more to follow on our trip soon and of course lots of great pictures.
I'm very tired tired today, but it was a great trip and my first time visiting East Germany, as it used to be known.
