tradition and history

The fascination for Simson goes far back: the company roots in Suhl, where it was founded in 1856 by Löb and Moses Simson. Originally worked in arms production, the company soon produced bicycles and later also mopeds. With almost six million motorcycles built, Simson was the largest two-wheeler in the GDR before production was discontinued in 2003. The moped "Schwalbe", which has reached cult status and is still a popular model, was particularly celebrity, even in the west. More details can be found on ndr.de .

The success of these mopeds did not subside even after the turn. The Simson brand has conquered a place in the heart of many German motorcycle fans over the years, and not only through nostalgic memories, but also through the ongoing trend to restore and drive old mopeds. With the introduction of the nationwide Simson day on July 19, the history of the brand and the cult that has grown around it is now even officially recognized.

an event for all two -wheel fans

The Simson meeting is not only a place of encounter for old and new friends of the brand, but also a real festive day for the local community. News and information about site plans and official programs are easy to find on site and promise an entertaining weekend that should be unforgettable for all participants.
