45th Italo-Treffen Meeting at Ellerberg, Germany

The Italo-Treffen is not just a simple motorcycle rally, but a true "institution" on the German scene, as emphasized by the organizers. The event in Tiefenellern, now in its 45th edition, is one of the oldest "Italo-Treffen" (Italian Rallies) in Germany and represents an unmissable event, especially for a Guzzista.
What distinguishes it from more modern and commercial rallies is its absolute authenticity. Comparing the event with its past, it emerges that it has kept its original spirit intact: it is not a multi-day festival with music and stands, but a pure gathering, almost a large-scale annual Stammtisch (regular meet-up). The heart of the event takes place within a very narrow time window (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM), typical of German "Frühschoppen" (morning brunch/drink) gatherings, where the goal is to meet, admire the bikes, chat, and have lunch.
For a Guzzista, there are two particularly interesting details:
- Location. The Ellerberg-Stübla is located "an der alten Bergrennstrecke," which means along the route of an old hillclimb race. Riding one's own Guzzi on roads with such a sporting past adds an undeniable charm.
- Community. Although it is a generic "Italo-Treffen," this event is a fixed reference point for the main German Guzzi clubs and forums (like Guzzisti.de and various local Stammtisch groups). This means the density of Moto Guzzis, from vintage V7s to modern V100s, is historically very high. You don't go there hoping to see Guzzis; you go there knowing you will find a strong representation of the Mandello Eagle.
