Product Details
Overview
Novelty
In Baden-Baden: The Hidden Motor City, Roland Seiter tells the fascinating and untold story of one of the world's first automobile pioneer cities. The new coffee table book invites you to immerse yourself in the captivating world of exciting automotive history.
Pioneering spirit
As early as 1887, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach presented their vehicles in Baden-Baden. We sense the spirit of change in the early days of the automobile and get to know well-known and lesser-known protagonists of the early days, from Carl Benz to Joseph Vollmer.
Milestones
One of the first car races ends in the spa town in 1903, which was still called the “Gesellschaftsfahrt” at the time. A racing tradition full of milestones is established, which continues with the International Automobile Tournament or the “2000 km through Germany”. In Baden-Baden: The Hidden Motor City, we experience racing legends on a fast ride, be it the unforgettable Rudolf Caracciola or Ernes Merck, the only woman to drive professional races in the 1920s. High society cheers on the sidelines: aristocrats, crowned heads and film stars. We meet Josephine Baker, Henry Ford and Max Schmeling.
Exclusivity
The result is a book with exciting, exclusive images that has a lot to offer: Automotive history and racing, local and lifestyle, cultural and contemporary history, from the end of the 19th century to the present day. Clear the way!
