The Schlumph Collection

At the last CAMC meeting the Chair asked for a show of hands regarding who had written something for the magazine in the last year. Ken Trethewey couldn’t raise his hand but thought he should be able to. So he offers: A couple of years ago my brother and I had the opportunity to visit the The Cité de l’Automobile, in Mulhouse on the French side of the French/ Swiss/German border, or as it is more commonly known, The Schlumph Automobile Collection. This was a truly amazing experience, to see a collection of over 600 European cars, more than 500 of which were collected by the Schlumph brothers between 1945 and 1976. These vehicles ranged from the JACQUOT steam car of 1878, to a 2007 BUGATTI Veyron (something of a misfit I thought). The Schlumph brothers were wealthy financiers and industrialists who’s obsession with collecting cars ultimately sent them broke - and resulted, after many years and many court cases, . . in . . . the Republic of France taking possession of the bulk of their collection. The Collection included over 130 Bugatti’s.

Mulhouse was the Schlumph’s mother’s birthplace and the childhood home of the brothers, and is close to Molsheim where the Bugatti factory was located. Growing up seeing Bugatti’s . .. seems to have been the catalyst, for particularly Fritz Schlumph’s obsession, with collecting.

A brief look at the internet will provide both the Schlumph story which is interesting in its own right, and plenty of photos of the more glamorous vehicles. A well written version can be found at https://www.sportscardigest.com/schlumpf-collection-profile-and-photo-gallery (The story covers 5 internet pages) My brother and I spent a full day at the museum and took well over 1000 photos, half of which were out of focus. Nevertheless, I will attempt to show some of the more unusual vehicles and a little about them each month. But for now a view of the rather nondescript museum face, the new dramatic entrance and an 1895 BENZ Velociped,Phaeton - with a rather glamorous umbrella, for shading, on a hot German day. This car is a single cylinder of 1,050cc capable of 20 kph. The Benz accessory catalogue offered: umbrellas, canopies, tops, lanterns, horns, baggage and covers, all designed to make travelling in the new automobiles more comfortable.
