Car articles about Wartburg by year
From 1956, the car company IFA built the Wartburg, named after the fortress of the same name near Eisenach in Thuringia. Technically closely related to the DKW, the Wartburg went its own way in terms of design and had also grown considerably. Although not up to Western standards in all aspects, the overall package convinced the "hobby" tester. This report reproduces the original wording of the 1958 report and is supplemented with extensive contemporary photographic material and two informative sales brochures from that time.
In 1966, the East German car manufacturer Wartburg introduced a new model series called the "353", sold in this country as the Wartburg 1000. Powered by a two-stroke engine and equipped with a separate chassis, the car no longer necessarily met Western European requirements, but was inexpensive and easy to maintain. Heinz Kranz from the magazine 'hobby' received a Wartburg 1000 for testing and compared it with the DKW F 102, which is no longer built. This article reproduces the original wording of the report at the time and shows the Wartburg and its indirect role model in historical pictures.
