Der Dessauer from about 1912?

Manufactured in territory later to become DDR?
Title: Re: Wendax 1511
Post by: Wendax on March 06, 2015, 03:30:38 AM
I only have the address of the company, but the factory most probably was somewhere else. The address I have would never become part of the GDR.
Title: Re: Wendax 1511
Post by: 4popoid on March 06, 2015, 03:35:07 AM
Is the address you have located in that part of Berlin that was not a part of the DDR?

Yes  :)

Perhaps an Oryx from Berlin-Reinickendorf?

No

Was this marque produced in 1918 or before?

No
Title: Re: Wendax 1511
Post by: 4popoid on March 07, 2015, 01:38:40 AM
Perhaps I have been thinking too obscure.  How about: Protos from Nonnendamm (Charlottenburg?) Berlin?
Title: Re: Wendax 1511
Post by: Wendax on March 07, 2015, 01:43:03 AM
Not Protos.
For this car you can't think too obscure, I guess.
Title: Re: Wendax 1511
Post by: 4popoid on March 07, 2015, 01:48:16 AM
I was afraid that you were going to say that.  One more on the current list of possibilities: Brandt from (?) Berlin.

No

Back to the mine for more digging.  Just to narrow the field a bit, is my current thinking of 1913 about right (if you know).
Title: Re: Wendax 1511
Post by: Wendax on March 07, 2015, 02:10:57 AM
Almost correct
Title: Re: Wendax 1511
Post by: 4popoid on March 07, 2015, 02:28:14 AM
EBM of 1912 only?
Title: Re: Wendax 1511
Post by: Wendax on March 07, 2015, 03:09:45 AM
Wrong car, wrong year
Title: Re: Wendax 1511
Post by: 4popoid on March 07, 2015, 03:30:50 AM
1914 Altona?
Title: Re: Wendax 1511
Post by: Wendax on March 07, 2015, 03:33:41 AM
1914 is correct, Altona is not.
Title: Re: Wendax 1511
Post by: Arunas on March 07, 2015, 02:41:39 PM
Might be totally wrong, but, perhaps, Beckmann?
Title: Re: Wendax 1511
Post by: 4popoid on March 07, 2015, 11:25:13 PM
1914 Loeb 10/30 PS by Loeb-Werke AG of Fritschestraße in Berlin-Charlottenburg?  Yes, I know I have already inquired about the LUC, but at some point after 1914 the name of this model was changed from LUC to Loeb, so I've got to ask. 
Title: Re: Wendax 1511

Twice no

I guess I'll have to try a little more geography.  Is the address that you have located in what would later be the British sector of West Berlin?
Title: Re: Wendax 1511
Post by: Wendax on March 08, 2015, 09:25:19 AM
Yes
Title: Re: Wendax 1511
Post by: 4popoid on March 08, 2015, 10:12:24 AM
Only because many of ny other possibilities seem to have been clustered there: Is your address located in the Charlottenburg district?
Title: Re: Wendax 1511
Post by: Wendax on March 08, 2015, 10:23:49 AM
Yes, the building still exists:

Post by: 4popoid on March 08, 2015, 01:38:46 PM
I just found the picture/poster below.  I have been unable to find anything else about this manufacturer, but, from what I see here, this might be our mystery car.  So: 1914 Pallas- Vergaser?
Title: Re: Wendax 1511
Post by: Wendax on March 08, 2015, 01:41:29 PM
Sorry, no. Vergaser is the German term for carburettor, so Pallas is not an automobile brand.

And not Reissig or Siegfried either, then?
Title: Re: Wendax 1511
Post by: Wendax on March 09, 2015, 08:14:42 AM
Not them either
Title: Re: Wendax 1511

Was this maker featured in any book, that you know?

It's a Schlager 13/38ps!
Called Teocar, by Theodore Tietz from Berlin.
Here you are another:
Title: Re: Wendax 1511
Post by: Wendax on March 09, 2015, 08:42:54 AM
Your answer is right ... and wrong!

Schlager is the German word for hit.  ;D
But this car didn't turn out to be one.
Teocar 13/38 PS is the correct answer.
I don't know, if it was just a badge engineering job, or where it was built.

A well deserved point for you.
