Following the outstanding success of its inaugural event in 2024, the Concours of Elegance Germany is set to return on July 25th and 26th, 2025, once again at the stunning Gut Kaltenbrunn on the shores of Lake Tegernsee.
Presented by A. Lange & Söhne, with an exclusive auction by RM Sotheby’s, Germany’s premier international Concours event promises to be a supreme celebration of automotive brilliance, elegance, and heritage.
The 2024 Concours of Elegance Germany marked a spectacular debut, drawing a distinguished group of internationally renowned collectors to the Bavarian Alps. The event featured an exquisite display of historic and modern motorcars and created a stylish, welcoming atmosphere – drawing elegantly dressed enthusiasts and connoisseurs across Europe and North America to the shores of Lake Tegernsee.
Hans Jörg Hübner’s exceptional 1939 Lancia Astura Pininfarina Cabriolet was crowned Best of Show – a testament to the extraordinary calibre of cars on display.
The success of the inaugural Concours of Elegance Germany was made possible thanks to the support of leading sponsors, including Bentley Europe, Alpina, Lamborghini Munich, Emil Frey Sportivo Ferrari Munich, Dörr Group, Sotheby’s International Realty Munich, Stockinger Bespoke Safes, Laurent Perrier, La Casa del Habano, and many others.
Following the successful launch of the first Concours of Elegance in Germany, the event was awarded an EN Indy Award for ‘Best Independent Consumer Show Launch’. It was selected as a finalist in the ‘Breakthrough Event of the Year’ category at the International Historic Motoring Awards.
The 2025 edition – supported by official presenting partner A. Lange & Söhne and official auction partner RM Sotheby’s – will showcase over 200 historic and modern motorcars curated to reflect the pinnacle of automotive excellence.
Beyond the main Concours, attendees can look forward to specialist categories such as the Ladies’ Concours, Emerging Collectors, and the Junior Concours, celebrating the next generation of automotive enthusiasts.
The Concours Car Presentation will be hosted by Classic Driver CEO JP Rathgen and vintage automobile authority – and former Bentley Executive – Richard Charlesworth, who will provide fascinating insights into the significance and stories behind the special vehicles on display.
This year’s Concours of Elegance Germany event will be supported by media partner Classic Driver and hospitality partner Käfer, further solidifying its reputation as a premier event in the motoring world.
