Circle of friends
A matter close to the heart.
Once Volkswagen, always Volkswagen: This applies not only to the many loyal customers, but especially to the employees.
The love and loyalty to this brand remain with many even after their active working life—a fact that the AutoMuseum is particularly pleased about. In 2018, 17 former Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles employees joined forces to form the Volkswagen AutoMuseum Foundation Circle of Friends.
To make this possible, the Circle of Friends has set up a professional workshop, which is continually being expanded and developed. The so-called ‘construction hours’ take place here once a week. The work focuses on:
- Repair and maintenance of exhibits
- Providing technical expertise for exhibits and assemblies
In addition to plenty of work, the Circle of Friends, in keeping with the old tradition of the ‘Nutzis,’ also places great importance on socializing. A regulars’ table is held once a month, along with the occasional barbecue afternoon. After all, a love of old Volkswagen models brings people together. And who could understand this better than we at the AutoMuseum?

What our visitors say
“All around, it was an incredible experience for us. The staff are very polite and helpful. You can learn a lot about the history of Volkswagen in the AutoMuseum. The many prototypes and conversions are a particular highlight. I would love to come back!”
