Sonneberg celebrates the 21st Trabant & IFA meeting: technology that connects!

Sonneberg, Deutschland - The anticipation for the 21st Trabant & IFA Meeting in Sonneberg is great. From June 27th to 29th, 2025, the site of the former border company 801 will be transformed next to the vocational school center into a Mecca for automotive and technology enthusiasts. The motto this year is "RFT Sonneberg - Technology that connects", and an exciting program is offered that has a lot available for old and young. The 1st Trabant and IFA Club Sonneberg is the organizer of this popular event, which has long been a tradition in the region.

A highlight of the meeting is the special exhibition "Trabant hits RFT", which focuses on the connection between vehicle construction and radio and telecommunications technology of the GDR. There are numerous historical vehicles, including Trabants, W50 and Simson, two -wheelers. All lovers of classic cars and East German vehicles are cordially invited to take a look at the treasures and get into conversation.

around the classic car scene

In recent years, classic car meetings have developed into a real crowd puller. In parallel to the Trabant & IFA meeting, the 32nd Oberlausitzer car veteran meeting takes place in Herrnhut from June 13th to 15th. Other events, such as the 14th Framo- & Barkastreffen in Frankenberg or the 19th Jawa-& Cz brand meeting in Chemnitz, testify to the diversity and passion for historical vehicles. Every year these events attract more and more participants and visitors, and the organization of such meetings often requires the commitment of many volunteers, such as at the annual classic car meeting of the Obermtzkower Leisure Associations since 2007.

The Eastern Bloc Vehicle Meeting is not only exhibitions, but also a piece of lively history that connects the region. The anticipation of the upcoming events is growing, and not only in Sonneberg, but in many other cities, the classic car meetings are just around the corner. So be there and experience the fascination of the nostalgic vehicles that remind us of another time!
