A wide savings campaign was started with 5 - or 10 - Mark a week you could ever save up for the new "car for everyone".

But then came 1939, the World War II and Volkswagen was used as a jeep at the front.

Money savers saw then in 1945 again.

By 1935 the motorized anti-tank division No.37 in the turn military barracks was engaged.

Mulhouse was once a garrison town and in subsequent years were the winds and the Berger-Görmar barracks.

moved into the latter one the Artillery Regiment 65, which went with his guns drawn by crawler tractors to the training grounds.

The road network had not changed significantly after the war, but was beeinfhusst strongly influenced by the new east-west border.

The F led to 247 now from only Worbis to Meiningen and the F 249 was soon behind Eigenrieden circuit.

After the "Wartburg" was the "Trabant" has become a best-selling car in the GDR.

But as with all types were years of advance notification of purchase.
for motorcycles too - like the MZ 250, etc. - And for the scooters and mopeds, you had to take a longer waiting times on sale.





Motor scooters, like the "Berlin" and mopeds .., such as "Sparrow", the "Star", the "Swallow" and so included, then the popular "replacement vehicle" of the working people . was shut down

thousands were driving with their Trabant and the Wartburg on the now open again to Hesse F 249 ... and they were (almost) all again ...

with German unification now the rush is put on the "West-cars" a ..., some Trabbi landed somewhere on the roadside and made a fancy "rust bucket" space from the West ..

only recently sat down again, the "nostalgia" and again by the "board" is a popular cult car become ..


Jeztzt dominated the trucks from Aldi, Edeka and so the roads were modernized in Mulhouse.

New roads, new car dealers and many new cars now determine the image of the city.

125 years automobile also had a checkered history in Mulhouse, of which this contribution could naturally only show some.

.. Well ...., Smiley says that yes had to offer really and the rest of the traffic still a lot ... because the roads were so animated before, even without cars pretty ..

But perhaps it could yet be a small addition to the transportation history of our city ...
