On July 23, 2023, the “National Automuseum The Loh Collection” will open in Dietzholztal-Ewersbach. Among the approximately 150 vehicles since 1886 are numerous unique pieces, prototypes and highlights of automotive history – from Kennedy’s Lincoln Continental to a Bugatti Type 57 Atalante to Michael Schumacher’s first world championship Ferrari and the only record-breaking vehicle built, the Maybach Exelero.

Thanks to its scope and excellent curation, the museum will even be of particular importance for research and teaching. The “University Campus National Automuseum of the Faculty of Economics and Law of the University of Economics and Environment Nürtingen-Geislingen” will already start its work at the opening. The lectures and live demonstrations are led by Prof. Jochen Buck, the leading expert on accident research in Germany. The museum offers a variety of educational opportunities for schools and universities that are unparalleled in Germany. This also includes the so-called “history workshop”, which brings visitors closer to the industrial history of the Lahn-Dill district and will inspire many young people to do technical training.

Regular special exhibitions are already being planned. The exhibition “100 Years of Le Mans 24h” will kick off with more than 20 original racing cars from 1928 to the present day – a spectacular show that has rarely been seen in Europe.

The halls, which are modern on the outside, present the charm of originally preserved historical industrial buildings on an area of ​​7,500 square meters. A steep curve with the icons of automotive history is an eye-catcher. Behind it, an oversized type case stages almost 30 sports and racing cars. The National Automuseum also has a large collection of engines, cutaway models and technical exhibits – from steam engines to electric car platforms.

The museum founder Prof. Dr. Friedhelm Loh says: “These unique exhibits stand for courage, innovative strength, pioneering design, craftsmanship and attention to detail. I cordially invite all people who are enthusiastic regarding the fascination of wheels and the technology in the vehicles to our new National Automobile Museum.”

The renovation of the Vilvoorde viaduct has started and traffic on the Brussels inner ring will be disrupted from August 16. The work will last eight years, until 2031. 1.7 kilometers long and 35 meters high, the viaduct was designed in the 1970s and opened to car traffic in 1978.

Some 150,000 vehicles use it every day. Its structure is now in poor condition and its renovation has therefore become necessary. It concerns the overall structure of the bridge, its load-bearing structure and the interior of the building.

The objective is to maintain traffic on the viaduct as much as possible, with work divided into different phases. During each stage, only part of the bridge will be unavailable and traffic will continue on the other part, with a speed reduced to 50 km/h.

The first phase of the works will take place from August 2023 to the end of 2025, with disruptions on the inner ring and an impact on traffic towards Zaventem.

During the second phase, from spring 2026 to spring 2027, the work area will move in particular to the outer ring. Phases three and four, from spring 2027 to the end of 2030, will cause the greatest nuisance.

Eventually, thanks to the renovation, a fourth lane might be opened in each direction on the viaduct.

The cost of the project is estimated at 435 million euros (excluding VAT).
