EFA Museum of German Automobile History

With over 220 vehicles spanning from 1885 to the 1970s, the EFA Museum of German Automobile History in Amerang offers the most comprehensive single-site survey of the nation’s motoring past in Bavaria. Its standout exhibit includes 16 rare pre-war Maybach models, a collection unmatched by any other private museum in the region. A concrete data point: the museum’s 1905 Adler Phaeton sold for €1.2 million at auction, illustrating the caliber of its holdings. While Automuseum Prototyp (#9) excels at depth, the EFA Museum wins on breadth—comparatively covering more marques in one visit than any other entry on this list. The economic miracle cars section alone features 40 models from Volkswagen, Borgward, and NSU, making it the best resource for understanding Germany’s post-war automotive boom under a single roof.
