A month of preparation, an extraordinary constellation: Under the title "Porsche Petrol Talks," art and automotive culture met in Hohenstein with three influential personalities – Walter Röhrl , Roland Kussmaul , and Hartmut Kristen . Curated and photographically accompanied by Tobias Kindermann , whose works capture the spirit of the brand in the finest detail (his motifs are available as limited-edition prints).

Location & atmosphere
The over 700-year-old venue lent a sense of calm and gravitas to the evening. Conversations unfolded within the historic walls, bringing together art, technology, and memory – focused, respectful, and with a touch of quiet tension.
