Caravan & RV Collection

Our Collection

About 250 historic travel trailers, motorhomes, and camper vans tell the story of mobile travel.

The Erwin Hymer Foundation’s collection includes about 250 vehicles from a wide range of model years and manufacturers: motorhomes, travel trailers, camper vans, passenger cars, and two-wheelers. The oldest item is a historic shepherd’s cart from 1850.

Production Models and Custom-Built Models

In addition to many production vehicles, the collection also includes numerous homemade vehicles. These were particularly widespread in the former GDR. Many of them demonstrate the ingenuity people used to build their dream of travel themselves.

Accessories and Documents

The collection includes more than just trailers and motorhomes. Travel accessories, brochures, photos, and numerous other documents show how people used to travel. Together, they form a comprehensive archive on the history of caravanning.
