Autos in der Allee

This weekend (Saturday 25th & Sunday 26th April, 2015) sees the annual “Autos in der Allee” event take place in Oberursel, with the Adenauerallee turned into an exhibition ground for cars.  The event, which is taking place for the 18th time, is considered to be one of the largest car shows in the region outside of Frankfurt.

170 new cars will be on show in the Adenauerallee and Liebfrauenstraße alone, with caravans and mobile homes on the corner between them.

The Henchenstraße will contain a number of exhibits such as a set of glasses that simulate being drunk, a car that can be flipped over, and the local refuse collection will be showing off their new high-tech dustcart.

Over commercial vehicles will be on show at the Rathausplatz, and the Epinay-Platz will be the place to go to see the collection of classic cars.

The exhibition will be opened at 11.30 on Saturday at the Bärenkreuzung by Mayor Hans-Georg Brum, his opponent in the current election campaign Thorsten Schorr, and Fountain Queen Christina II.

Sunday is also a “verkaufsoffener Sonntag”, meaning that he shops will be open from 12pm until 6pm.
