It has been a household name for many years: Techno-Classica in Essen. A classic car fair that you as a lover of old cars should have visited at least once in your life. Next year will be the last edition, Messe Essen has now announced. That sounds worse than it is. The classics will return to Essen in 2026, but under a new name. From then on it will be called Retro Classics Essen, because a partnership will be entered into with the show and trade fair Retro Classics, which is already organised in Stuttgart. The layout will remain largely the same, so you can simply marvel at classics again. However, the two halls where you normally find the Classic & Prestige Salon of Techno-Classica will from then on be used for other parties from the automotive sector and tuning industry. The very last Techno-Classica in Essen for the time being will take place from 9 to 13 April in Messe Essen next year. A year later, in 2026, it will be the turn of Retro Classics Essen at the same location. The fair will take place during the same period, namely from April 8 to 12.
