Magirus : Histoire des véhicules de pompiers
In 1864, Conrad Dietrich Magirus founded the Feuerwehr-Requisiten-Fabrik von C. D. Magirus. Four years later, he introduced an innovative ladder that impressed firefighters in Germany and abroad, marking the beginning of Magirus ladders' success.
Over the years, Magirus faced many challenges and developed a wide range of fire trucks, with ladders being just one part. Its products were exported to many countries worldwide.
This French book aims to tell the story of this extraordinary industrial saga that spans over 150 years, drawing on an iconography that is as rich as it is varied. Its purpose ends in 2014, the year that saw the Magirus firm celebrate its 150th anniversary.

Magirus LKW - Rundhauber 1951-1965
"Clothes make the man" - this statement also applies to the commercial vehicle sector, especially when a futuristic hood is placed over the revolutionary engine, which makes the vehicle immediately noticeable in traffic! An identifying feature that the round-hood trucks of the Ulm-based brand Magirus were able to claim for themselves at the beginning of the 1950s.
In this volume, Wolfgang Gebhardt deals with the Magirus Rundhauber (round-hood) series, which covered the payload range from 3.5 to 8 tons and were present in the traffic of the time with flatbed, tipper, box, municipal and fire service bodies.
