Hanseatic Unity Classics 2025

Recently, we had the pleasure of once again being the official media partner at the Hanseatic Unity Classics Summer Rallye and just like last year, it was an unforgettable experience ⚓️

For us at Emil’s Garage, this event represents more than just a rally. It’s a celebration of two worlds that shaped who we are: our roots in shipping and our passion for classic cars. Past meets present, both on the road and by the sea.

Organized to perfection by Birte Ballauff and her team at Hamburg Car Events HCE UG, this year’s rally once again delivered:

• Beautiful classics on scenic roads

• Great people & even greater conversations

• A salty breeze and true maritime spirit

  
  

Even the occasional breakdown became a bonding moment. Thanks to the fantastic support by Elbtor mobile Hammerbrook GmbH 🙌

And most importantly: nearly EUR 18,000 were raised for Die Seenotretter – DGzRS, continuing the rally’s strong tradition of giving back. A big thank you to all participants and donors for making that possible 💙

We’re grateful to Hanseatic Unity, the chartering & marketing platform behind Asiatic Lloyd Maritime, ATLANTIC LLOYD, Reederei NORD, Borealis Maritime, and Leonhardt & Blumberg, for their continued trust and vision. A special thanks to Mirco Erdtmann and Cindy Feindt for their support and partnership.

For us, this rally is a full-circle moment every year. It reminds us where we come from – and why we do what we do.

We’re proud to contribute through:

• Content Creation

• Storytelling & Writing

• Social Media & Coverage

  
  

Looking forward to 2026 already. Until then, stay tuned for more from the road, the sea, and the garage 🏁
