Dear collectors, exhibitors, and visitors of the Kassel Collectors’ Meeting,
In less than a month, the time has already come! We are very much looking forward to this year’s meeting while finalizing the last organizational details.

Kassel 2026 Special Model
We are delighted to announce that there will once again be a Kassel special edition model this year! This year’s model is kindly provided by the Risawoleska shipyard, which has promised us a fantastic pilot boat model. Burkhard and Margit Schütt are working at full speed to have the models ready in time for the collectors’ meeting. If everything goes according to plan, you will be able to pick up your model at the entrance desk upon arrival.
Table bookings
Both the main hall and the second-hand area are completely sold out. Numerous well-known manufacturers from around the world will be present, and more than 115 tables will once again showcase thousands of models to admire and purchase. For any further reservation requests, we are maintaining a waiting list. As in 2024, we will publish a floor plan with an exhibitor directory for the main hall shortly before the event.

Visitor registration
As you can imagine, organizing the meeting involves a considerable logistical effort. You can support us by announcing your attendance in advance. This helps us greatly in planning quantities for the buffet. We thank you in advance for registering at: kassel1250@gmx.net

The dinner consists of (quote from the offer):
“A rich appetizer and salad buffet,
three main courses with fish, meat, and poultry including side dishes,
a vegetarian main course,
as well as a large pasta buffet with sauces,
and a dessert buffet with various mousses and cream dishes.”
