Summary

In the mid-twenties, a popular automobile was created in Hanover that was far ahead of its time in terms of body shape, but was also technically impressive. With almost 16,000 units produced on the assembly line in just three years, the Hanomag 2/10 PS, popularly known as the "Kommissbrot", was one of the most produced German cars of the time, but its unusual shape meant that it did not achieve a major breakthrough. This vehicle report tells the story of this unusual vehicle, describes its technology and shows the car in many pictures.

Today, this automotive milestone is almost forgotten, but 50 years ago almost every child knew the car. However, despite its progressiveness, the car was not a commercial success.
