Deutsches Zweirad- und NSU-Museum

Housed in the historic former Teutonic Order Castle in Neckarsulm, the Deutsches Zweirad- und NSU-Museum is one of Germany’s most important museums dedicated to the history of two-wheeled mobility. With around 400 exhibits spread across six floors, it offers a fascinating journey through more than a century of engineering innovation, speed, and design. The museum is particularly famous for its remarkable NSU collection. Neckarsulm was the home of NSU, which became one of the world’s most successful bicycle and motorcycle manufacturers and, during the 1950s, the largest motorcycle producer in the world. Visitors can admire legendary models such as the Max, Fox, Quickly, and Lambretta, alongside rare racing motorcycles, record-breaking machines, and classic NSU automobiles including the Prinz, Spider, and futuristic Ro 80. Another highlight is the extensive motorcycle collection featuring around 140 different brands. Exhibits trace the evolution of motorcycling from the earliest pioneering machines to modern racing bikes. Among the treasures are world championship motorcycles, unique prototypes, and rare engineering masterpieces that showcase the creativity and ambition of motorcycle designers throughout the decades.
