Digital Club Card
As of this year, the membership card is only available in digital form. You can find instructions on how to create your membership card in the link below.
It is important to note that this must be downloaded again each year, even in digital form, so that it remains up to date. The validity always ends on 31.12. and can be extended independently by you in just a few seconds. Reminder: It is best to repeat the process in January if you have already created the Club Card this year.

Events attended
Parts market and general meeting
Once again this year, we were able to welcome many members to the above events. A number of items were bought and sold at the parts market and a report on the past year was given at the general meeting. Elections were also held. A detailed report including photos will appear in the next issue.
Annual meeting Römerstein
This year’s annual meeting in Römerstein was a complete success. Over 500 Unimogs from near and far attended. The organizing regional group Göppingen/Stauferland had prepared everything well and the weather gods also played along. The small village and its surroundings were made unsafe by the Unimog fans. A detailed report including photos will appear in the next issue.
Annual meeting RG Palatinate
The Palatinate regional group has found a new location for its annual meeting – in the vineyards, as befits the Palatinate. The Metz vineyard in Meckenheim was the perfect place for this event. Many Unimog friends had been waiting for this event and then took advantage of it. The preparation by our two regional representatives, Erik Engel and Stefan Jung, was a success. Numerous possible applications with the Unimog were demonstrated on the action area and the dealer mile, with our club store, was also interesting and was actively used. The disco in the evening rounded off the day’s program. We are looking forward to next year.
Exit Austria-East
This year, the regional group in Austria East hosted its meeting in Prottes near Vienna.
UVC annual meeting
This year’s annual meeting of the Unimog Veterans Club took place in Hattert in the Westerwald. A small delegation from the Unimog Club was there with the Club Unimog.
