 |
|
This Weekend the Hebmüller Family, the descendants of the Hebmüller coachbuilders, held a meeting for cars made by Hebmüller.
I was there yesterday and it was a really cool event.
There where some other cars as well but for us where more important the VW based ones. There where 21 type 14 and one type 18.
Part of the meeeting was a trip to the old plant in Wülfrath near Wuppertal where the cars had been built. There the cars where placed as on a famous period picture.
What a great view that was!
How damned beautiful such a Hebmüller is.

Magnificent! What a thoughtful thing to orchestrate a 21st Century tribute to the originators! 
Note the narrow, one could say "grooved" roof coping profile the factory has in the earlier;i.e. 2nd B&W - photo) - no easy feat! Just look how fat it is today!

At the Karosserie Hebmuller 2014, I had the luck to bump into a certain Mr Rappold. The son of Mr Eugen Rappold who worked as a designer at Hebmuller Karosserie. He left the company in 47 to start his own company that still is in the running. I had a fine talk with the man who was so happy that his father worked for Hebmuller during the war. His father was ordered to joint the wehrmacht for the Russian front. As Hebmuller made several items for the army. So they needed the man in the factory to develop items.....and due to the bosses at Hebmuller, he was picked up from a train towards Russia and send back to Wulfrath. The best thing was that he had a map with him.... I was not alowed to take picts but the drawings were all Original, designs, sketches and all signed by Hebmuller. Unfortunatly not one design from the vw's.... logic as he left the company before there was an order. But the best thing actualy is that the drawings will be handed to Klaus Hebmuller in the near future. Copy's will be made I hope
No need to take contact with them for the drawings. They are safe now. Just for interest here is the current company. The man i spoke is retired now himself and is no longer in the company. They still make nice coachbuilts....
