Welcome

We are where others would like to be

There is no mistaking the sound of a tracked vehicle setting itself in motion. With us you do not just hear it – you are the one at the controls. After a thorough briefing by an experienced tank commander you drive yourself: steering wheel, automatic transmission and radio headset, across our own training grounds in the Sauerland.

And do not worry if you have never done this before – that is exactly what we are here for. Incidentally, and contrary to the rumour, it is women in particular who have turned out to be excellent drivers with us.

What we offer

Three ways to set history in motion

Tracked vehicle with driver and commander on the training ground

Drive a tracked vehicle yourself

€249 · 30 minutes, all inclusive

Briefing in the training room, then you take the controls: steering wheel, automatic transmission, disc brakes – and your commander in your ear over the radio headset. Fuel and a decorative certificate included.

Moving pictures instead of promises

This is what our Sauerland sounds like

Engine on, tracks running – watch, and above all: listen for yourself. Filmed on our own grounds, no filters and no studio.

Why us

Nothing off the peg. An experience.

Well kept, modern vehicles

Immaculately serviced tracked vehicles with steering wheel, automatic transmission and disc brakes – we do the maintenance ourselves, and it shows.

Proper intercom

Up-to-date radio headsets: you hear your commander crystal clear – and the people who came with you can listen in.

Bring company

Up to five people watch from a safe spot and are welcome to take photographs and film. Afterwards the vehicle is available for photos.

Appointments without a crowd

No mass handling: appointments on request via the form only – the grounds are then yours.

Crossed-out parking fee sign: parking is free with us
Parking is free.

A matter of course with us: free parking right on site – no fees, no hunting for a space.
