An evening for technology fans: The air-cooled VW engine in agricultural engineering
At the INDUSTRIEKULTUR Café in the Silberquelle, everything revolves around a piece of engine and everyday history that extends far beyond the Beetle: the air-cooled VW engine and its use in agricultural engineering. On Tuesday, September 15, 2026, the Forum Industriekultur e. V. in Braunschweig invites you to a lecture that connects technical history, industrial development, and regional knowledge transfer in a lively way.
Technical history to touch
The air-cooled boxer gasoline engine was originally developed for the VW Beetle and later found widespread application in agricultural machinery in a modified form. This transformation makes the evening exciting: From a well-known automotive engine, it became a reliable drive for everyday work in the field. The audience will not experience a dry technical lecture but a lively event experience with a clear focus on engineering, practicality, and the cultural value of technical developments.
Industrial culture meets Braunschweig evening atmosphere
The Silberquelle at Kalenwall provides a fitting setting for this. Its location in the city center ensures easy access, while the café format creates a calm, personal audience atmosphere. Anyone interested in vintage technology, engine culture, agricultural history, or regional industrial culture will find an evening filled with conversation topics and a pleasantly relaxed character.
What visitors can expect
Admission begins at 5:45 PM, the lecture starts at 6:00 PM, and is expected to end around 8:15 PM. For those interested, this is a compact, well-planned event with professional depth. Particularly attractive: Participation is free. Thus, a cultural-historical topic becomes an open offer for all who want to not just see technology but understand it.
Conclusion: An evening for the curious, tinkerers, and city explorers
The INDUSTRIEKULTUR Café combines expertise, local event planning, and a topic that continues to fascinate. Anyone who wants to experience the air-cooled VW engine from a new perspective should not miss this date in Braunschweig. The evening promises insightful perspectives, lively conversations, and true industrial culture in the best sense.
