Photos of Dürkopp cars from before the First World War are, for the most part, conspicuous by their absence. I'd guess 1905...

1904?

Post by: Wendax on May 28, 2026, 01:53:25 PM
Yes, at least this picture was taken in 1904. According to the lettering the owner was Ernst Ibald from Oberhausen, a bicycle dealer. Have a look at the beautiful metalwork around the radiator!

Thanks for the puzzle and the point. The radiator grille is a real work of art.
