The brand logo of today’s Audi brand shows four intertwined rings. Many brand fans know the origin and meaning of this symbol. It stands for the four brands of Auto Union, which was founded in 1932 at the insistence of some German banks. The Horch, Wanderer, DKW and Audi companies were merged into one group. Originally, there were even negotiations with the Brennabor and Hanomag brands, but these ultimately failed. So it could even have become six rings. After World War 2, most of the manufacturing plants were located in the Soviet occupation zone, which meant that Auto Union no longer had any influence there. Only the DKW sites in Berlin-Spandau (West Berlin), Hanover, Munich, Nuremberg and Freiburg (Breisgau) remained. In order to ensure the supply of spare parts, a new Auto Union central depot was established in Ingolstadt in 1945. The new Auto Union GmbH was founded there in 1949. However, at first only DKW vehicles were sold.<\/p>\n\n\n
