Oldtimer early pint in Okel: A festival for tractor fans!

Next Sunday, the nostalgie museum in Okel will become a colorful backdrop for car lovers and those interested in history. In a special classic car morning pint, Karl-Heinz Rengstorf introduces his hiking exhibition entitled "Beginning, Blossom and Decline of the German Tractor Industry". Used hic from the Zickler Es 207, a rare prototype of a compact narrow -gauge tractor from 1965, Rengstorf revives the history of tractor -out

Preparations for this event are already in full swing. Elke and Wolfgang Kaeding, the operators of the museum, have come up with something special to celebrate the Thanksgiving tank differently. "We want to experience the fascination for old vehicles and their history together with our visitors," says Wolfgang Kaeding full of anticipation.

The story behind the tractors

Rengstorf illuminates the development of the tractors from a historical and technical perspective. "After the First World War, some German manufacturers first ventured into the construction of arable tractors and attachments. However, the introduction was hesitant, since the devices were often expensive and error," he explains. Only in the Adenauer era when the German economy began to boom did tractor production experienced a significant upswing. Tractors increasingly replace horse and car in agriculture.

But the development not only took positive turns. From the 1960s there was a decline in tractor production in Germany. "The market saturation and international competitive pressure meant that many local manufacturers left the market," explains Rengstorf. Today hardly an important manufacturer is working on the German market without international ties. Claas in Harsewinkel is one of the few remaining companies that can operate independently.

But classic car Sunday is not only shaped by the exciting exhibition, but also offers culinary delights. From 11 a.m. fresh matjes buns, a hearty homemade soup and various cold drinks are offered. Elke Kaeding is enthusiastic: "We are happy to offer our guests a sociable ambience in which enjoyable food and good conversations play a central role." From 2 p.m., homemade cakes and cakes are also available that are served in the cozy KlönstUV.

The classic car owners are welcome to present their vehicles, and parking spaces are also available in sufficient numbers. "Entry to the event is free, we want everyone to have the opportunity to become part of this special day," adds Wolfgang Kaeding. If you are interested in historical vehicles or just want to enjoy a nice day in the museum, you should paint the Sunday in the calendar.

So it remains to be hoped that the classic car morning pint in the nostalgie museum in Okel attracts numerous visitors and not only the nostalgic flair of the old vehicles, but also the fascinating history of the German tractor industry.
