Brief history of the amazing Volkswagen and Wolfsburg
The first thing we need to mention is that the amazing Volkswagen, wasn’t always a Volkswagen but a Porsche, the designer of this great brand of car was Ferdinand Porsche, the creator of the Daimler-Benz, and Auto Union. Surprisingly was Adolf Hitler the one who put Porsche in charge of the design and shape of this car. Hitler wanted a small car with four seats, with a great engine that would cost around $250.00 at that time.
Ferdinand Porsche had a lot of experience already making small cars but it was for private and not famous people, so he felt a lot nervous to have a mistake on his work and manufacturing, but everything went well, and from 1935 to 1937 Porsche created more than 50 Volkswagen samples with all that Hitler told him to put in the cars, Franz Reimspeiss was the one who was in charge of the design of the cooled engine. This car was very strong, and the platform was powerful and comfortable, Hitler loved what he saw in this car and immediately he wanted this kind of cars for all his military travels and mobilization. He used Nazi money for his great project, and because he thought it wasn’t enough he built a factory in Wolfsburg and since then this pace is their biggest car factory of cars in all around the world.
At that time when Hitler was on power the Wolfsburg factory just produced cars for the war demand, but after the war in 1946 finally the Volkswagen could become a car for the people, it was a great time for everyone who dreamed for so long to have someday this kind of car in their hands.
