Audiwerke – A. Horch & Cie by August Horch

The establishment history of the company Audi is a bit complex that officially quoted as 16 July 1909 in Zwickau, Saxony in Germany founded by the German engineer and automobile pioneer August Horch (1868–1951). In his early life, August Horch was engaged in the trade of a blacksmith and after graduating and receiving a degree in engineering from the Technical Academy in Mittweida, Saxony, he started working in shipbuilding.

August Horch later started working on engine construction and was then positioned as the head of the motor vehicle production department at Karl Benz’s automobile company Benz & Cie in Mannheim from 1896. It was before founding his own motor manufacturing company A. Horch & Cie. in November 1899, in Ehrenfeld, Cologne, Germany.

However, the origin of the company Audi traced back to 1899 when on 14 November, August Horch established his own motor vehicle company named A. Horch & Cie in the Ehrenfeld district of Cologne, Germany. Later the company was formed as a joint-stock company in Zwickau (State of Saxony) on 10 May 1904, by the name of August Horch & Cie. Motorwagenwerke AG.

However, unfortunately, August Horch left the company due to an internal collision with the company’s CFO and founded his second company, the August Horch Automobilwerke GmbH in Zwickau on 16 July 1909. But he lost the ownership of the brand name Horch and renamed the new company Audi Automobilwerke GmbH Zwickau (Audiwerke AG Zwickau from 1915) taking the Latin name Audi that was incidentally proposed by his friend’s son. The Latin name Audi actually is a synonym for his German name Horch.

Whatsoever, August Horch again left Audiwerke in 1920, went to Berlin and engaged in various jobs, and hold a higher position at the ministry of transport but was involved as a member of the board of trustees in Audi. Later Horch also was on the board of Auto Union, the successor to Audi Automobilwerke GmbH and he is honored till the day as the founder of Audiwerke.

In 1932, Audiwerke lead a marge with three other German automobile manufacturers Horch, DKW, and Wanderer, and established Auto Union. Auto Union was an amalgamation of four German automobile manufacturers in terms of logistics sharing and then was widely known for its racing team from Germany. It holds the badge of four interlocking rings as their logo which later formed the modern Audi AG.

Whatsoever, after several post-World War II corporate ventures the modern formation of the brand Audi had established within the 1960s. At that time Auto Union shares are 100% taken by Daimler-Benz within 1958-1959 and later another German automobile giant Volkswagen AG acquired it within 1964-1966. Volkswagen merged the Auto Union with acquired NSU Motorenwerke in 1969 and established Audi NSU Auto Union AG, and thus it created the present-day form of the company Audi AG.

The motor brand Audi was relived again when Volkswagen AG realized the emergence of Audi as a separate brand assessing the pre-World War II successes and introduced the Audi F103 series in 1965 in the market. It counted as the starting of the new era of Audi whereas later the merged and reformed new company Audi NSU Auto Union AG incorporated on 1st January 1969, and then later in 1985 by ending both the Auto Union and NSU brands it was simply shortened to Audi AG.
