These exceptional machines, considered the longest mass-produced motorcycles in the world, were built from 1925 in the Šluknov region under the direction of designer Albin Liebisch. The exhibition offers the first comprehensive overview of all the types produced – visitors will see thirty Čechie–Böhmerland motorcycles, including unique replicas of prototypes that have not survived.

The exhibition was prepared by the National Technical Museum on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the start of production of these motorcycles.

Until the beginning of the war, approximately 750 of these motorcycles were produced, distinguished by their unusual design and appearance. Even at the time, they were a rarity, and over the years Čechie–Böhmerland motorcycles have become some of the most sought-after historical vehicles. The exhibition traces the history of Čechie–Böhmerland motorcycles and presents all the types that were produced. In addition to preserved original machines, newly reconstructed copies of lost prototypes of this brand’s motorcycles will be exhibited for the first time in our country — for example, the two-cylinder 700cc Sudet model or perfect replicas of the four-seater Čechie–Böhmerland, truly the longest motorcycle in the world.

The exhibition will also recall the company’s demise, the displacement of its founder to Germany, and his unsuccessful attempts to restart production in Bavaria. Part of the brand’s history is the exceptional interest shown by museums and collectors in Čechie–Böhmerland motorcycles, as well as the founding of the Čechie–Böhmerland Club, which organizes an annual gathering of these motorcycles and strives to document their history. The exhibition will briefly present this aspect as well.

The exhibition was created in cooperation with: Čechie–Böhmerland Club, Verkehrsmuseum Dresden, Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin, and the Sudetendeutsches Museum Munich.

The exhibition is held under the patronage of the President of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel.

The exhibition will run from November 7, 2025, to March 22, 2026.
