Running.Expo

Since June 2018 the compound of the historic Am Butzweilerhof airport is been used for the MOTORWORLD Köln-Rheinland centre.

The former hangars have been provided with catering companies, conference rooms and a permanent car exhibition, the last being the main attraction of MOTORWORLD. All year round oldtimers, sport cars and super sport cars as well as the private car collection of Formula-1 champion Michael Schumacher are presented. The entry is free of charge.

The Running.EXPO 2019 will take place in this impressive and multifunctional event location “Hangar II” of MOTORWORLD Köln for the first time. The multi-purpose hall covers 2,300 sq.m. with 11 metres tall walls, is at ground level and can be easily accessed.

In April 2019 the V8 Hotel will be opened. This unique boutique hotel will have 110 individually furnished rooms.

Note: We arranged a special deal contingency for exhibitors. Details will follow soon.
