The inaugural Concours of Elegance Germany, held last week at the Tegernsee in the south of Deutschland, is a sister event to the more-established Concours of Elegance Hampton Court Palace, the latter held across the channel in Jolly Old England. The German event featured over 80 exquisite cars, ranging from classics to modern-day hyper cars, all on the shores of Germany’s beautiful Lake Tegernsee, aquatic playground for the rich and famous of Deutschland. Here’s hoping it happens again next year.
