Harley-Davidson meeting in Coburg
REUTHER-ENTERTAINMENTS brings Callenberg Castle Rally back to life!
REUTHER-ENTERTAINMENTS is following this motto in 2013, when, just in time for the 110th anniversary of Harley-Davidson, bubbling V-twin engines will shake the time-honored castle walls.
As Managing Director Hermann Reuther looks back, the Schloss Callenberg Rally was first launched in 1998 as the International Harley-Davidson Meeting in and around Coburg and was a highlight for Harley-Davidson and motorcycle enthusiasts from all over Europe until 2001: „A top event, which at the time was under the patronage of His Highness Prince Andreas of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and the Lord Mayor of the City of Coburg, Norbert Kastner!“
Of course, Coburg has much more to offer its guests than just the venerable castle: Here, the arc spans history and modernity, the old is skillfully combined with the new and the official website of the European City (the official title since 2005) whets the appetite for a visit.
„Values and change“ is the motto of the administrative district of Upper Franconia, and the people and movers and shakers have a keen sense of tradition and innovation. A good place for bikers who combine traditional values such as camaraderie and a thirst for adventure with modern and technically sophisticated machines: „Although the Harley-Davidson meeting in Coburg had taken a short break in recent years, now, in the big anniversary year, a new edition was almost inevitable,“ explains Hermann Reuther, himself an enthusiastic Harley-Davidson rider.
It starts on Thursday, May 30, 2013 with a VIP reception in the rose garden of Callenberg Castle. Incidentally, Prince Albert and his wife, Queen Victoria of England, were already very fond of the castle. Both even lived here for a time, so the motorcycle enthusiasts should also feel at home in the splendor of the castle:
During a tour and a visit to the museum, the guests get to know the dreamlike ambience before enjoying a princely royal dinner in the Red Salon, the Reuthers team whets the appetite for the rally. Princely is to be taken quite literally, „because His Highness, Hereditary Prince Hubertus of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and his wife will also be present at the dinner!“
Friday begins with a trip to Wartburg Castle in Thuringia and ends with a multi-media presentation entitled „Around the world on a Harley“. Hermann Reuther will be presenting his very personal dream destinations and travel impressions, and there will certainly be one or two tips for the participants as well as some suggestions for the next big tour...
A great start for further highlights in and around Coburg that follow: Because a „ride“ on Saturday takes the participants into the world of castles in the Coburg region, a „Castle Run“ (the official Reuthers term), which concludes with a hearty knights' feast at the Veste Coburg. After all, biking also makes you hungry and thirsty.
However, even the best days and experiences come to an end. And so the Schloss Callenberg Rally closes on Sunday with a farewell brunch buffet.
Of course, the event can be extended on request and supplemented by an exciting journey to and from the event. REUTHER-ENTERTAINMENTS offers an interesting additional option: participants are provided with the latest Harley-Davidson rental motorcycles - a special service for international guests in particular. From Nuremberg or Munich, a guided tour including an experienced Reuthers tour guide and roadside lunch will take you to Coburg and back!
