Personenwagens - Duitsland: boeken - historie en modellen

Deutsche Autos 1920-1945

Deze nieuwe uitgave presenteert "Duitse Auto's" in compacte vorm, met een moderne vormgeving en vele nieuwe kleurenfoto's. Het boek is gebaseerd op het bekende standaardwerk van autohistoricus Werner Oswald.
Zijn precieze stijl en grote vakkennis blijven behouden wanneer hij de ontwikkeling van de Duitse auto-industrie van de jaren twintig tot het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog beschrijft.

Het boek laat zien welke bedrijven in deze periode voertuigen in Duitsland verkochten, produceerden of assembleerden. Oswald behandelt niet alleen de grote fabrikanten, maar ook vele kleine en bijna vergeten merken.

De uitgave combineert duidelijke technische informatie met een zorgvuldige historische en economische context en vormt zo een compact naslagwerk dat zowel een overzicht van belangrijke modellen biedt als inzicht in minder bekende delen van de autogeschiedenis.

Motor-Kritik-Testbuch: Reprint der Originale von 1938 und 1939 - 108 Auto- und Motorradtests

In the pre-war period, Motor-Kritik was THE specialist magazine for technically interested car and motorcycle drivers. Until he had to vacate his post during the Nazi era, the editor-in-chief was Josef Ganz, the legendary designer, advocate of light and safe cars and designer of the "Volkswagen" called the May Beetle.
However, Motor-Kritik also continued to provide its readers with extraordinarily thorough car and motorcycle tests.

This has resulted in a unique reference work in which you will find all the technical data, consumption and comparison values, prices and driving reports for the common four- and two-wheelers of the late 1930s.

There are a total of 108 test cards, as well as information about the magazine, about editor-in-chief Ganz and about the car and motorcycle scene of those days.

2 Takte - 4 Räder : Die Geschichte des Zweitaktmotors im Autobau

Siegfried Rauch was the Nestor of German automotive journalism in the post-war period, having worked intensively on two-stroke construction as technical director and development engineer.
An unfinished manuscript dealing with this highly interesting technology was found in his estate.

Automobile in den 30er Jahren - Aufnahmen aus dem berühmten Bildarchiv Dr. Paul Wolff & Tritschler

Hardly any other technical development has changed our lives in the last 100 years and had such a lasting impact on them as the automobile, which - after its first major use during the First World War - developed into the modern means of transport in the 1920s and 1930s.
However, at that time it was still a luxury item of high social importance that only a few wealthy people could afford.

This period of rapidly developing individual transport before the Second World War was captured in countless, unique Leica photographs by the photo studio Dr. Paul Wolff & Tritschler in Frankfurt (M), which are unparalleled and document all areas of road traffic in the twenties and thirties: for example, the development stages of the automobile; manufacturing, automobile exhibitions, car advertising, the first car vacations, automobile tournaments, beauty contests, automobile racing and exhibitions.
Werner Schollenberger supplements his brief texts with a biography of Dr. Paul Wolff and the subject of photography.

Deutsche Cabriolets 1945-2020

De cabriolet is de oorspronkelijke vorm van de auto. Aanvankelijk werd het gezien als een goedkopere alternatief voor de gesloten sedan, maar al snel werd het een luxeartikel. Iconische modellen zoals de Mercedes Benz 300 SL of de BMW 507 werden begeerde symbolen van de jaren 1950, voordat fabrikanten zoals Ford, Opel en VW het open rijden betaalbaar maakten voor het grote publiek.

Gasolin: Nimm Dir Zeit - und nicht das Leben

The petrol stations with their distinctive architecture and the old pump with the red and white Gasolin logo were widespread and well-known in Germany until the 1970s.
Some people will certainly still remember the Gasolin advertising slogan "Take your time - and not your life", which was emblazoned on many trucks. However, hardly anyone will know that the history of the Gasolin company goes back to the 1920s.

The author Ulrich Biene has meticulously examined contemporary documents and old photos and researched the history of the Gasolin brand.
In this book he provides information about the history of the brand from its beginnings to relics that can still be discovered today. The company history is rounded off with images that have in part never been published before.

Gehen Sie mit der Konjunktur - Die Fünfziger rollen weiter

A look into the family album of the Federal Republic: Alexander F. Storz shows pictures from the time of the economic miracle, when every car made its owner proud.
Parked on the side of the road, sometimes dirty and dented, sometimes overloaded, sometimes optically refined with dubious success or badly neglected, but in any case an exquisite panopticon of everyday automobile life on the streets.

Here the 1950s come to life once again from the perspective and through the camera lens of those who experienced them. Authentic everyday shots of a time of optimism and boundless optimism.

So rollten die Siebziger - zwischen Prilblumen und autofreien Sonntagen

The seventies were not least characterized by two oil crises, which had far-reaching consequences for the automobile industry in particular.

After his successful review of automobiles in the fifties and sixties, the author Alexander Franc Storz now turns to the seventies, tells of the "car-free Sundays" and how these in no way tarnished the relationship between the Germans and their "favorite child, " lovingly shows and describes the everyday cars as well as the rare exotics, and gives atmospheric accounts of everyday life on the road, of traveling and of camping.

Von Käfern, Trabis und Kavalieren der Strasse - Wie West- und Ostdeutschland mobil wurden

With the oil crisis of 1973 and the emerging environmental movement, the 1970s took the carefreeness out of driving. While in the West many cars were literally rusting away, in the GDR they remained an object of longing that people had to wait a long time for.

The urge to drive to the West was all the greater when the Wall fell in 1989. Since the Mercedes stars of the West were now within reach, the fall of the Wall also marked the end of Eastern brands and models.

Alexander F. Storz guides the reader through the automotive history of the West and the East. Using private photos from the 1950s to the 1980s, he captures real life on Germany's streets.
