Topic: Gottschalk-Trabant, seen in summer1989/who knows more?

[grobmotorix]

Who knows the name that stood under the boot lid, before I´ve photoshopped it.

I do only know the name of the tuner (/Tuning company??)
I´ve shot both two photos in East Berlin in July 1989 only some month before the iron curtain fell.

It would be great if anyone knew more about it.
I´m not really sure if it was a good one-off or a regular tuning product.
But in summer 1989???

One right name - one point...

I was deeply impressed to see the very first heavily modified Trabi in my life then back in 89.

It clearly shows "classical" elements of 80´s tuning.
And when you think of the means and products they (did mostly NOT) have had in the east I think it was a good piece of craftsmanship.

I want to find out more, but have not found anything since 1989, so this might be a harder nut than it seems to be at first sight...

ZAZ?

[grobmotorix]

Do mean the company ZAZ?

No, this is an ordinary Trabant, modified by a company or an individual who has left their/his name on the back of the car, then.

And I want to know this name.

It is a "top ten" known german name...

Schulze?

Schmidt?

[grobmotorix]

"known" not by the quantity of common german names, but there´s a living person with this name who is known in Germany to almost everybody.

No Müller, Meier, Schmitt or that kind.

It is a rare name in Germany, too

Kerkeling?
