Automotive History Online


Welcome to the German Automobile Index

This is a list of but some of the German Automobile Manufactures of the last two centuries, Some of these companies have faded into history or merged with another company to create a new name. I will work on adding what photos I can as I find them and time permits. Alot of these companies only produced one or two cars and a photo of the automobile is none existent, Many German automobile manufactures did not survive the second world war. As always if anyone has a photo and want to share in preserving the photographic history of the automobile please send it to us. Full credit will be given.
