The Mercedes Benz Museum in Stuttgart

[madandra]

ON a recent trip to Germany we were taken to the Mercedes Benz Museum and I was astonished by the number of priceless masterpeices they had on show. There must have been 200 immaculate examples of engineering. I have addes a few pics for your perusal.

I would recommend a visit if you ever find yourself in that area.

I visited my niece who was working in Stuttgart a few years ago and went to the museum, absolutely must do if you are lucky enough to go there.
Great pictures, I wish that I was computer literate enough to be able to post things like that (Old Age!!)

I worked for Mercedes for a number of years, and luckily I went to Stuggart a couple of times, the museum is fantastic, also the factory tour is amazing.
If anyone buys a new Merc ask for a "factory collection", they fly you out there and put you up in a hotel, you are taken to the factory the next day, where you have a tour, afterwards you receive a hand-over of your new vehicle. You then drive it back through Germany and France to Calais, it really is a fabulous trip, it is "free" for one person, and you pay for anyone extra (which used to be about £200). I believe they are the only manufacturer that offers this option.

I have been to the merc museum and it is impressive. Equally impressive is the BMW one in Munich, and the factory tour too. They make 3 series in Munich, from panels to full on cars, engines too. It is one of the most complete car factories in the world.

Dodger, you missed out.

I am often in Munich, and yes, the beer is good. But it is not often you get to see a car factory, and double for one as complete as BMW.

I did the museum tour, found that there was an English factory tour two hours later, so went to a local pub for some liquid lunch to while away the time. Time well spent, as the factory tour is very good. I am in manufacturing, and this was still proper interesting.

Better in many ways than various brewing tours I have been on. Which get a bit samey. Including the drinky bit.

Each to there Own Murph but we are there for 4 days primarily to get pished so the Erdinger do fits the bill far better than the BMW one.
