Audi Through the Years

Founded in 1899 by August Horch, the fledgling company went through several name variations before becoming known by the iconic Audi moniker in 1910. The recognizable four rings of the logo were not used until 1932 when the four automakers of the German Saxony region (Audi, Horch, DKW, and Wanderer merged into the conglomerate Auto Union AG. When World War II concluded, the manufacturer found itself located on Soviet-occupied ground. By 1948, the Soviet troops had plundered the assets and closed the plant. In 1949-1950, however, Auto Union GmbH resurrected the branding in a new location (Ingolstadt). After that, Audi regained its presence and went on to be a leader in various arenas, including technology and racing.
