Summary

There were around 10,000 car brands and designers - most of them have disappeared. One of these lost brands is Rosengart. Cars from this manufacturer are extremely rare on our roads today. No wonder, as the brand was only able to survive from 1928 to 1954. During this short period, however, the French were able to launch several successful models on the market. While the first models were still based on cars from other brands (Austin, Adler-Trumpf...), they were soon able to launch their own models on the market. But even all these successes could not avert the company's downfall...

During the First World War, Andre Citroen was France's most important supplier of ammunition. When Lucien R. Rosengart, owner of a mechanical workshop, invented the grenade that exploded before impact, Citroen took over its production along with its inventor. After Rosengart joined the Peugeot management in the mid-1920s, he decided to manufacture cars himself. To this end, he bought the Bellanger plant in Neu-illy, which had closed down in 1925. The Rosengart LR2, a licensed design of the Austin Seven, was built there from 1928. This was followed in the early 1930s by licensed Adler-Trumpf models.
