About
Directly at Checkpoint Charlie is Berlin's Trabi Museum, dedicated to the history of the famous car with the two-stroke engine. Serial production of the Trabant started in Zwickau in 1958 and it is definitely the most famous car from East Germany. On display are the various stages of development of the East German people's car and its potential uses for camping or as a military vehicle. Also on display are rarities such as the Trabant P70 with its wooden chassis or the racing Trabi. And if you'd like your own chance to drive a Trabi, all you have to do is cross the street to Trabi World, where you can book various tours through East and West Berlin or along the former course of the Wall.
