They are called "Wohnwagen".

Thanks, but, what does that mean? Please?
Cars ("Wagen") in which you live (wohn). Which is what they are 
The Dutch name (spelled "caravan") may come from the equivalent French (spelled "caravane" and also called a "roulotte") or, further afield, they both may trace back to a Central Asian word.
PS: confusingly (or not), in Dutch a kampeerwagen is self-propelled (unlike a caravan).

A generic German name for "trailer" is anhanger. A travel trailer is reiseanhanger, (literal translation) for "camping trailer", IIRC. Wohnwagen, too, as mentioned.

some people call them caravan, too so a Wohnwagen (no engine!) is the same as a caravan

yes, it is common on nearly all kind of shows, no matter if a cruise in, a regular show or a party weekend (like this one).
So you have to ask the owner if he opens the hood so you can take a picture of the fender tag
Like on this GTX:
You need them up for your photos. I've been leaving them down for more than 35 years. They look bad with the hood up.
Very nice cars!

Very nice show and pictures, thanks. I went to Dresden once in 2002, New Years Day actually.
