A VERY SPECIAL PLACE FOR VERY SPECIAL AUTOMOBILES

“Marstall” Stables of Princes

Only a few steps away from EMICH´S Hotel are the royal stables. Build in 1818 by the father of Queen Victoria of Great Britain. At the heart is an idyllic courtyard with magnificent views from the towers of the Abbey Church and the forests of the Wolkmann Mountain. Here, where not only coaches and horses but also the automobiles of the aristocratic family zu Leiningen were housed, the enclosed courtyard of the former princely stables with 14 coach houses and stalls together with the former smithy provide an ideal location for lovers of classic cars and motorbikes, sports cars and racing cars – in short: anything on wheels. A meeting place for races and rallies, car meetings, excursions and a location for parts markets, collectors’ fairs and more. Of course, the converted stables offer secure garaging for your vehicle close to the hotel.

The Marstall Stables are also a unique location for specialist exhibitions or presentations of car and motorcycle highlights big or small in exclusive circles of enthusiasts and for club events and company celebrations.

Insights

In the royal dynasty zu Leiningen, automobiles always had a special place. For example, the stables were home to Bugatti and to the Mercedes SSK, 7.1 liter compressor of Prince Hermann zu Leiningen, a successful racing driver in Bugatti, Mercedes SSK and Auto Union Type A. Events were organized and took place in Amorbach for vintage cars and modern classics. Presentation of vehicles at the stables also include the annual Classic Car Meeting at the castle square where over 150 classic car lovers present their collector’s vehicles. So much to see.
