On Sunday, June 14th, the grounds of the Bochum Observatory will be filled with a fantastic display of Trabant and IFA vehicles. While Saturday is dedicated to vehicles from IFA production and the Eastern Bloc countries that were common in the GDR, Sunday opens its doors to all 'Osttimer' (classic Eastern Bloc vehicles).
