Monheim's annual Prummefest transforms into a lasting establishment, surpassing the realms of simple gatherings.

The first weekend of September saw the picturesque town of Monheim come alive with the vibrant energy of the Prummefest. This annual event, organised by the local town administration or a designated cultural association, is more than just a date in the calendar – it's a must for those who celebrate life's little joys.

Young and old flocked to the festival, with the little ones enjoying children's entertainment, and adults socialising in a cozy atmosphere. The Prummefest is not just a gathering of cars; it is a colorful festival that brings together wonderful people.

The heart of the Prummefest is the classic car gathering in the middle of Monheim's old town. A diverse range of vehicles graced the festival, from a Bugatti to a tractor, a Volvo P 1800 to an Ovali Beetle, and everything in between. Each car told its own story of families, travels, and memories.

History was shared at the Prummefest, with every vehicle having its unique story. The event offered a platform for reminiscing about the good old times, and for the "classic car chat," an exchange of knowledge about engines, spare parts, and the love for classic cars.

The scent of late summer plum cake, freshly grilled food, and the first signs of autumn filled the air during the Prummefest. Steaming hot pea soup was served while children roasted marshmallows and enjoyed animation. A visit to "Fred at the ice cream mobile" and a hike along the Rhine were common plans for the end of the day.

The Prummefest continues to bring a cozy, familiar, and lovable atmosphere to its visitors. Familiar faces gathered around the "treasures" of classic car owners, creating a close-knit community. The event concluded with a relaxed stroll through Monheim's old town, offering a unique opportunity to appreciate the beautiful flower fields along the Rhine.

Historical emergency vehicles of the DRK were also part of the Prummefest display, adding an extra layer of nostalgia to the festival. The Prummefest is more than just a classic car gathering; it is a celebration of life's little joys, a testament to the enduring love for classic cars, and a truly special event in the heart of Monheim.
