With Trabi and Dübener egg: Brandenburg's classic car couple on tour!

With a touch of nostalgia and a large portion of passion, Michael Scheuba and his wife from Brandenburg an der Havel discovered the adventure "Oldtimer Reisen". Your loyal companion is a Trabant 500/2 from 1962, a classic that makes the hearts of many classic car fans beat faster. The whole thing becomes particularly charming through your caravan, the Dübener ei , whose story goes back to the 1930s. Originally developed by Max Waldig, this caravan impresses with its stubborn shape and lightweight construction.

The Scheubas deliberately excluded the coasts and mountains for their excursions and instead concentrate on classic car meetings and charming campsites. "Driving with the trabant and the caravan is not only relaxing, but also protects the fuel consumption," explains Michael, who discovered his love for the old technology over twelve years ago. His half -trabant, which he acquired from Leipzig, shows a creative idea; He quickly rebuilt it as a trailer.

a trip through the time

The Trabant 500, which Michael bought a decade ago, is a real piece of jewelry that is in excellent condition. And also the Dübener ei , which came into possession in 2018, has been lovingly renovated and has been back on the street since 2020. Originally designed as a single-axle trailer, the caravan weighs only 270 to 300 kg and, despite its reduced size, offers a charming equipment: a gas cooking center, a wardrobe and a cozy seating area that can be converted into a double bed-perfect for romantic nights under the starry sky.

The tradition of camping with classic cars is diverse worldwide. In the 1920s and 1930s, models such as the Airstream residential followers revolutionized the camping experience, during the Dübener ei as an unforgettable age of German camping culture. Even nowadays, classic cars are in high demand at events, and the Düben egg has conquered a place in the hearts of many camper.

A look into the future

In order not to have to do without the usual comfort on longer trips, the Scheubas use a Mercedes with a larger caravan that has a toilet and shower. But they spark the real joy with their short trips, in which they can appreciate the conviviality of other classic car lovers. At the end of August they plan a tour to the Ketzin campsite to meet like -minded people and share their enthusiasm for old technology.

It is more than just a hobby for Michael. It is a lively connection to the past and a way to rediscover the simplicity and adventure of travel. The joy of driving and encounters with like -minded people make every tour an unforgettable experience. Because when returning to the past, you often discover the joy of the present.
