Travel Advice

At the subway arches of the Alexander Square you will find a museum that is the first of its kind in the German capital: The first DDR motorbike museum.
The man who had this idea was the 51-year old Uwe Kobilke who collected 80 scooters, motorbikes and mopeds in only 3 years time. Today, some of them are older than 50 years! Even more surprising is that some of them are still able to drive! They were all restored by Kobilke and he knows everything about every single motorbike. Now he is very proud to present his work to everyone else. Therefore, he puts loads of money and effort in it and even mixed the paints until he created the original ones. There is also one motorbike that belonged to a government escort of the earlier politician Erich Honecker. On its wind deflector you can still see the original emblem of the DDR.

Even before the museum opened on the 27th of September, there was loads of interest in the motorbikes: People that really wanted to have a look at them maybe because these motorbikes refreshed people’s memory?!
Now, there are 80 scooters, motorbikes and mopeds on 800 square meters on 2 floors.

If you want to visit the museum, come to Rochstraße 14 c. It is open every day from 10am until 9pm and it costs 5,50Euro (4,50Euro with abatement).

This museum is great no only for those who are really interested in motorbikes. It is very interesting to see the history of all of them and to see how much effort Uwe Kobilke put in.

If you come to Berlin you should come and visit this museum. Have a look for suitable accommodations in advance. There are a lot of apartments (Unterkünfte Berlin) right in the centre, for example near the Alexander Square where is museum is located.

Have a look for accommodation (Ferienwohnung Berlin) or for one of all the Hotels in Berlin and visit the city. Plan a few more days since there are loads of sights to see in Berlin.
