Title: Solved: Wendax 371 - Convertible built by Emil Naumann of Wurzen
Post by: Wendax on October 28, 2011, 12:09:35 PM
I don't know much about this car. But I think I know who built it.

For one point, please respond and identify the coachbuilder. Any additional information is welcome.

Is it on Mercedes chassis?

I don't know, but I'd rather say no.
Title: Re: Wendax 371
Post by: Allemano on January 17, 2012, 03:25:56 AM
Is there any related car that appeared here before?
Title: Re: Wendax 371
Post by: Wendax on January 17, 2012, 03:30:18 AM
The coachbuilder wasn't mentioned here before, and because I don't know the chassis used, I can't tell you whether there is a related car here to be found, sorry.

Karosseriewerke Döbeln?
Title: Re: Wendax 371

Not Döbeln, but the direction is better now.

I thought you would say that.  Let's try the another direction.  How about Bitterfeld-Wolfen?

No
Title: Re: Wendax 371

did this company built bus-bodies or was it just a werkstatt?
Title: Re: Wendax 371
Post by: Wendax on January 14, 2015, 06:01:01 AM
It built mainly commercial bodies: trucks, buses, vans.
Title: Re: Wendax 371
Post by: 4popoid on January 14, 2015, 12:02:53 PM
I'm still trying to nail down the geography.  Based on your previous comment, was (is?) the coachbuilder located northwest of Leipzig, in the general direction of Halle (Saale)?
Title: Re: Wendax 371
Post by: Wendax on January 14, 2015, 12:24:04 PM
No, I said that going from Leipzig in the Döbeln direction is the best guess yet.
Title: Re: Wendax 371
Post by: oko94 on January 14, 2015, 12:37:03 PM
From Dahlen ?

Post by: 4popoid on January 14, 2015, 12:57:42 PM
I'm sorry, my geography failed me.  I was thinking that Döbeln was northwest of Leipzig, but I now see that it is actually in the opposite direction, southeast toward Dresden.  So was (is?) the coachbuilder located in, or near, Wurzen?
Title: Re: Wendax 371
Post by: Wendax on January 14, 2015, 01:22:07 PM
The coachbuilder was from Wurzen.

No, the company doesn't exist anymore, but its name can be found.

Post by: pnegyesi on January 16, 2015, 06:15:17 AM
I have seen "VEB Karosseriewerke Wurzen" as a supplier of bodies. Is this the one?
Title: Re: Wendax 371
Post by: Wendax on January 16, 2015, 06:41:48 AM
No, that was the expropriated Deckwerth company.
Title: Re: Wendax 371

VEB Motorenwerk Wurzen?

No VEB
Title: Re: Wendax 371
Post by: 4popoid on January 17, 2015, 08:47:09 PM
I just ran across a word, but I can't determine if is a name, or just a description.  I'll give it a try as our missing coachbuilder: Kutschenwagenbau.
Title: Re: Wendax 371
Post by: Wendax on January 18, 2015, 04:06:29 AM
No, Kutschenwagenbau just means chariot builder.

Post by: mekubb on January 20, 2015, 03:30:36 AM
I ran through quite a list of names and came across Schiemann in Wurzen, is that the one ?
Title: Re: Wendax 371
Post by: Wendax on January 20, 2015, 03:56:26 AM
If we are talking about the same list, the solution is the next one.  ;)
Title: Re: Wendax 371
Post by: mekubb on January 20, 2015, 04:29:15 AM
Apparently not the same list because the next one is a company that is still active. And on this list there is only one company from Wurzen and that's Schiemann..... Does it start with a S though ?
Title: Re: Wendax 371
Post by: Wendax on January 20, 2015, 04:33:08 AM
No, it doesn't start with S, but ends with mann.  :)

Emil Naumann?
Yes! The picture was part of a collection of photos showing vans and trucks built by Emil Naumann. Because of that I think this car was built by Naumann, too. I'll add some of the Naumann pictures tonight.

Two Black Hole points for you.

Don't worry Pal, it's a fully deserved point for you. I hadn't Naumann in my list anyway....
