None that I know of

was the other car which was mentioned AP a passenger car?

Wendax · « **Reply #57 on:** March 16, 2014, 04:58:51 AM »

As I said before, meanwhile there is more than one car at AutoPuzzles that was built by this man's companies. All were passenger cars.

were these built after the 2nd WW?

Wendax · « **Reply #59 on:** March 16, 2014, 05:58:14 AM »

Before, during and after

I am sure the solution is very simple and I am dumb. Is there a connection to Auto Union?

Wendax · « **Reply #61 on:** March 16, 2014, 06:37:28 AM »

I can assure you that the solution is not simple. While the prewar company is contained in the usual encyclopedias, the car production by his second company is not covered in any book as far as I know. The only website covering all cars is - surprise, surprise - autopuzzles.com. There is no direct connection with Auto Union, except for using Auto Union parts.

Hans Tautenhahn?

Wendax · « **Reply #63 on:** March 16, 2014, 06:51:48 AM »

Aaaah!

Yes, Hans Tautenhahn was the builder. Locked for you to answer the other questions.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #64 on:** March 16, 2014, 06:55:41 AM »

I found the ad. It is a HTH prototype which was said to be housed in a museum for many years. it was powered by a 200 cc DKW engine. The front was originally modeled after the Porsche 356. It had a Framo front axle.

Wendax · « **Reply #65 on:** March 16, 2014, 12:14:10 PM »

Yes, HTH 200 is the correct answer. Two well earned points for you.

From Fahrzeugmuseum Chemnitz, clearing up the mystery of two guys with the same name!!!
"There were two Hans Tautenhahn. One lived in Zwickau and was responsible for HATAZ (HAns TAutenhahn Zwickau) cars in the 1920s. The other man lived and worked in Hartenstein and built sidecars and the small car you mentioned in the 1950s (HTH: Hans Tautenhahn Hartenstein). Our museum used to show a HATAZ car and the remains of a HTH 200. Both exhibits have since been given back to their owners and are no longer on display. Both men were not related, just shared the same name and worked in similar trades at different points in time. There is also very little information on either of them, I'm afraid"

I don't know if they were not related because:
1 Hartenstein is near Zwickau
2 The second company was called Fahrzeugbau HTH,Hans Tautenhahn Jun. This implicates that there was a Hans Tautenhahn senior, which could be our Hataz-man.

Thank you very much for that piece of information which is new to me.

Wendax · « **Reply #69 on:** August 24, 2016, 01:33:18 PM »

This car was not build by Tautenhahn, but by one of his apprentices as part of his craftsman exam. The base car was a Framo Stromer which was converted to a four-wheel car, the DKW engine got a MZ ES 300 cylinder and the rear wings were modified Wartburg 311 front wings.
