100 Jahre Hanomag Kommißbrot: Deutschlands erster Kleinwagen aus Hannover.
NEW
The Hanomag 2/10 PS was Germany's first small car produced on an assembly line. Developed in the early 1920s, the simple and robust vehicle with its distinctive design was first tested as a prototype in autumn 1924.
The concept was created by engineers Fidelis Böhler and Carl Pollich, who presented their idea and prototypes to Hanomag in Hannover-Linden. Factory director Dr.-Ing. Gustav ter Meer decided to put the project into production. Between the start of production and the end of the model in 1928, Hanomag built 15.775 examples of the 2/10 PS.
This illustrated book, published for the anniversary exhibition of the same name, documents the history of this pioneering small car in ten chapters. It covers the vehicle's development, assembly-line production, use in motorsport, and personal memories, stories, and anecdotes connected with the car.
Additional chapters focus on the small commercial vehicle version, the reconstruction of the production line and several vehicles, as well as the life of Ilse ter Meer, daughter of the factory director. She was one of Germany's first female mechanical engineers, the first female member of the VDI, and a test driver of the Hanomag 2/10 PS.
