“This is our new business card on the Porscheplatz. At this meeting point, we welcome our international customers as well as numerous people from all over the world who themselves may not drive a Porsche but are nonetheless fascinated by our sportscars,” confessed Dr. Wendelin Wiedeking, Chairman of the Board of Porsche AG in his opening speech.
One of the task of the Porsche museum, part of the brand's culture, is to remember the founding personalities of the company. In addition, the new building is not only part of the brand's identity but it also represents the motivation and commitment to all its employees.
“This museum should become a part of Porsche culture – a culture of esteem amongst employees, a culture of humanity, a culture of employer and employee alike working together as well as a culture of honest and open contact with one another”, explained Uwe Hück, Chairman of the Company Works Council of Porsche AG.
Politicians seemed also extremely impressed by the new Porsche museum as they believe the German automotive industry is undoubtedly linked to designer Ferdinand Porsche.
“The history of Baden-Württemberg as the cradle of automotive engineering is closely entwined with the biography of the designer Ferdinand Porsche. All of the things which had their origin in his fountain of creativity, and which were continued by his son Ferry, are shown in this unique collection of sportscars which can be displayed to the public in its full extent for the first time,” said Prime Minister Oettinger.
However, the museum opens its gates to the public starting with January 31. Adults will have to pay 8 euros admission, while children under 14 get free admission when accompanied by an adult. Enthusiasts should know the museum is opened daily except on Mondays, from 9 to 6 p.m.
