Eye of Horch

1937 Horch 853 Cabriolet up close and very personal. The pattern in the glass is mesmerizing! Enlarge for details. It makes the details look kind of like feathers.
Dr. August Horch was an engineer for the Benz Company in Mannheim from 1896 to 1899, after which he resigned to found his own company in 1900. His initial car is regarded as the first German vehicle with a shaft-driven rear axle. He lost control of his company in 1909 and tried to form another company using his name, but the prior company was doing well and would not release the name……..so the very clever August simply went Latin…Audi is the Latin translation of horch, from the German verb "horchen", which means "listen!" (compare English "hark"). As time passed, most Horch automobiles belonged to the luxury class and the firm developed a reputation of building both elegant and beautifully engineered automobiles. Horch introduced the 853 series of automobiles powered by SOHC straight-eight engines in 1931, with production continuing through 1939. The depression threatened all automobile makers the world over and in 1932, to survive, both companies from Zwickau (Horch and Audi) merged with Zschopauer Motorenwerke J. S. Rasmussen (the DKW brand) and the Wanderer car-production facilities to become the Auto Union corporation of Saxony.
The top line Horch, competed directly with Mercedes, and likewise The Silver Arrow racing cars of the Auto Union racing team in Zwickau – developed by Ferdinand Porsche and Robert Eberan von Eberhorst, and driven by Bernd Rosemeyer, Hans Stuck, Tazio Nuvolari and Ernst von Delius – also competed with the best from Mercedes and the Germans were dominant prior to the war. Both companies racing divisions were heavily subsidized by A. Hitler in his drive to achieve German engineering domination, and the engineering of the racers was amazing!. Between 1935 and 1937 the unique mid engined Auto Union racers won 25 races.
Post war only Audi and DKW survived with the lowly 2 cylinder DKW expiring in 1966 and Auto Union came under Daimler-Benz ownership in 1957 and was purchased by the Volkswagen Group in 1964.
Pre-war special bodied Horch DHCs have gone Best in Show twice at Pebble Beach recently, and the prices have gone into the clouds.
