No, no and no

Perhaps I've been making this too hard. Erdmann & Rossi?

Wendax · August 09, 2014, 01:31:31 PM

Not exactly, but so close that I will lock this one for you.

4popoid · August 09, 2014, 02:06:33 PM

Thanks for the lock. I'm not quite sure what to do with it, but I'm guessing that the firm you are looking for had some connection to Erdmann & Rossi, either through merger, location, and/or personnel. Like Erdmann & Rossi, Karosserie Friedrich Rometsch was located in Berlin-Halensee, and the designer Johannes Beeskow worked for both (I don't know that he ever had his own company). So, is the coachbuilder that you are looking for Karosserie Friedrich Rometsch?

Correct, but not Rometsch, even closer to Erdmann & Rossi.

Hummmm. I haven't been able to find any Erdmann & Rossi subsidiaries, but I did observe that the Erdmann & Rossi nameplate reads: "Erdmann & Rossi - Jos. Neuss Berlin-Hallensee". Is this the name that you are looking for?

Could it be as simple as Erdmann & Rossi ?

Sorry, I overlooked 4popoid's reply. Consider it not-sent

No, one more try before I unlock.

4popoid · August 18, 2014, 04:10:12 PM

I can't find any connection to Erdmann & Rossi, but I found another firm located in the same Berlin neighborhood. How about: Karosserie Maatz, Berlin-Halensee, Germany?

Wendax · August 19, 2014, 10:37:11 AM

No, unlocked

mekubb · August 20, 2014, 05:24:19 AM

Did the Berlin-based company we are looking for seize to exist before 1926 ?

Wendax · August 20, 2014, 05:06:23 PM

I don't know.

4popoid · August 21, 2014, 02:45:52 AM

Am I correct in assuming that this company no longer exists either as a coachbuilder, or otherwise?

Wendax · August 21, 2014, 11:59:10 AM

The company doesn't exist anymore. Keep close to Erdmann & Rossi!

João · August 21, 2014, 06:13:10 PM

Voll & Ruhrbeck?

4popoid · August 21, 2014, 09:22:27 PM

Karosserie-Werke Boldt & Lieske, Berlin?

Wendax · August 22, 2014, 04:00:20 AM

No to both

4popoid · August 22, 2014, 02:40:24 PM

Alexis Kellner?

Wendax · August 22, 2014, 04:23:06 PM

No

Remember that it is very closely related to Erdmann & Rossi.

grobmotorix · August 22, 2014, 05:25:36 PM

Peters?

Wendax · August 22, 2014, 05:29:31 PM

No

grobmotorix · August 22, 2014, 05:35:36 PM

Ahlemeyer? I do not know of an Erdmann & Rossi connection, but I´m running out of names...

Wendax · August 22, 2014, 05:53:53 PM

No, it is easier than you might think.

4popoid · August 22, 2014, 06:03:12 PM

Just (Willy) Erdmann (before Rossi)
