The era of the economic miracle
end of the Second World War, marked the beginning of an unprecedented period of economic growth in Germany. At the same time, the appetite for mobility grew – initially for affordable motorised two-wheelers, but soon also for cars. The re-establishment of Auto Union GmbH in Ingolstadt saw the company return to the DKW brand’s roots in vehicle manufacturing. During the 1950s, NSU Werke AG, still an independent company at the time, became the world’s largest manufacturer of two-wheeled vehicles. Soon afterwards, it made a comeback as a car manufacturer.

DKW RT 125 W (1949-1957)
There had already been an RT 125 in the Auto Union AG programme before the Second World War. Building on this, the newly founded company Auto Union GmbH was able to quickly launch a proven product on the market in 1949: the DKW RT 125 W. It remained in DKW’s two-wheeler programme in various modified forms until 1957, becoming a best seller for the still young company. DKW RT 125 W: Engine: Single-cylinder
History of the Four Rings
Saxony, Wanderer in Chemnitz and DKW in Zschopau all enriched Germany’s automobile industry and contributed to the development of the motor vehicle. These four brands came together in 1932 to form Auto Union AG, the second largest motor-vehicle manufacturer in Germany in terms of total production volume. The new company chose as its emblem four interlinked rings, which even today remind us of the four founder companies. After the Second World War the Soviet occupying power requisitioned and dismantled Auto Union AG’s production facilities in Saxony.
Leading company executives made their way to Bavaria, and in 1949 established a new company, Auto Union GmbH, which continued the tradition associated with the four-ring emblem. In 1969, Auto Union GmbH and NSU merged to form Audi NSU Auto Union AG, which since 1985 has been known as AUDI AG and has its head offices in Ingolstadt. The Four Rings remain the company's identifying symbol. Horch This company's activities are closely associated
DKW in racing
From 1956, Auto Union increased factory support for private DKW entrants. An “Auto Union DKW Trophy” was contested annually from 1958 on. DKW successes increased both in Europe and further afield with the DKW 3=6, Auto Union 1000, DKW Junior and DKW F 12. The 900 and 1,000cc two-stroke racing engines’ power output was steadily increased until they were developing close to 100 bhp. Between 1954 and 1964, DKW drivers won more than 100 championship titles, 150 overall victories, 35 team first prizes and 2,500 class victories. But when the two-stroke era came to an end at Auto Union, the factory withdrew from motorsport in the autumn of 1964.
