At the 1st German auto show in 1893 (if I recall correctly) there were four local carmakers: Benz, Daimler, Lutzmann and Kühlstein.

So, what's left? Benz?
Title: Re: GG-176
Post by: guido66 on July 22, 2010, 04:03:30 PM
None of the above, and earlier than 1893
Title: Re: GG-176
Post by: pnegyesi on July 23, 2010, 12:12:01 AM
Wow, this is getting interesting. A factory which was making cars prior to 1893 in Germany. We are re-writing automotive history here.
Title: Re: GG-176
Post by: guido66 on July 23, 2010, 02:59:30 AM
I've found another source for this photo which says that the photo is one of the later models. The first car was made before 1893, though.
Title: Re: GG-176
Post by: guido66 on July 23, 2010, 05:45:00 PM
Just found a photo of what is probably this man's first car

Was the man's first car (I assume electric) built between 1883-1888?
Title: Re: GG-176
Post by: grobmotorix on July 25, 2010, 02:54:45 PM
Hmm, the electric AAG (the later NAG) came years after 1893.

Is Schuckert involved?

Twice yes  :)

No relation to Schuckert that I know of.

Well, all I needed was to take a step back and think. So this morning I found this:
Andreas Flocken mit seiner Frau in dem zweiten von ihm entwickelten Elektrowagen, luftbereift, mit Spurstange unten und der Batterie vorne. Das Foto stammt aus dem Jahr 1903

Andreas Flocken with his wife in the 2nd electric car, which he developed. Pneumatic tires, batteries at the back. Photo is from 1903. Flocken lived and worked in Coburg. "Spurstange" is a kind of steering.

QuoteNone of the above, and earlier than 1893

I´ve found the name of Mr.Flocken before , too.
But as you said, his car came past 1893 according to my sources, so I wasn´t inquiring further...
Title: Re: GG-176
Post by: guido66 on July 26, 2010, 04:21:18 PM
Flocken it is, of course!

I'm sorry I've got the years of the 2 vehicles mixed up. But he built his first electric vehicle in 1888!
