Motorworld in Cologne is to feature a permanent collection of items from Michael Schumacher's career.
Motorworld Cologne - Rhineland, which is scheduled to open late 2017/early 2018, will feature Schumacher's private collection, including karts from his early days, sports cars, trophies, unique memorabilia, and, of course, most of the cars in which he won seven world championships.
Schumacher’s family and Motorworld have concluded an agreement to make the unique collection freely accessible to the public for years to come.
"It is the heart's desire of Michael's family that all interested fans should get to see his collection without having to pay an admission charge," said the German's manager, Sabine Kehm. "It will enable them to revel in memories and bring those great times back to life again.
"The location’s proximity to Kerpen, and the passion for motoring that it radiates, were two other excellent reasons for this collaboration."
"It means a great deal to us to be able to honour Michael’s achievements in this manner and bring them so close to his fans," said Andreas Dunkel, initiator of the Motorworld concept which is located in Stuttgart, Munich and Belin also.
