The term “universal genius” is often used in literature to describe outstanding technicians and designers. Actually, a picture of Ernst Neumann-Neander, who was born 150 years ago, should be inserted in the dictionary next to this word. In addition to his work as an engineer and designer, he still found time for art, cabaret and motorsports. He was also successful as an entrepreneur. But let’s start at the beginning. Little Ernst was born in Kassel on September 3, 1871, the son of a landscape painter. Little is known about his childhood. At the age of 19, he appeared in high-wheel races, which were very popular at the time. After school, he studied painting in Kassel, Munich and Paris. A career as a caricaturist and poster painter began during his studies. From 1911 he also appeared in cabaret as part of the Schwabing ensemble “die 11 Scharfrichter” (the 11 executioners). At this time, he has already been riding his specially built motorcycle in mountain and endurance races for seven years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After his time in Paris, Ernst Neumann founded the advertising agency “Ateliers Neumann f\u00fcr Moderne Reklame” in Berlin in 1908. There he worked for all the major car manufacturers and other well-known industrial companies of the time. Shortly thereafter, he expanded his portfolio to include car design. As an external consultant, he designed vehicles for coachbuilders Kellner, Papler, Schebera, Szawe and Kruck. Along the way, he found enough time to teach art at the Charlottenburg School of Arts and Crafts. Due to the First World War and the inflation that set in, Ernst Neumann lost all his assets. He started from scratch and created for himself the additional artist name “Neander”, after the ancient Greek term for “new man”. From then on, he concentrated in Cologne on the design and manufacture of motorcycles under the brand name Neander. Because of unconventional but innovative solutions, he soon received the nickname N\u00b2.<\/p>\n\n\n
