Hineinlesen: http://www.akaziaverlag.at/buecher-details/items/die-autopioniere-hans-und-erich-ledwinka-ihr-leben-ihre-technik.html


Zwei Autoren schrieben ein Buch über die beiden Autopioniere Hans Ledwinka (1878-1967) und dessen Sohn Erich (1904-1992), die in Steyr, Nesselsdorf/Kopřivnice und Graz ihre Meisterleistungen vollbrachten. Hans Ledwinka war für das erste in Steyr produzierte Auto verantwortlich und leitete dann das Tatra-Werk in Mähren (Tschechien) bis 1945. Sein Sohn Erich konstruierte nach beruflichen Einsätzen in Nesselsdorf, Berlin, München und Steyr in Graz den Steyr-Puch Haflinger und den Steyr-Puch Pinzgauer.

„Den Anstoß, das Buch zu schreiben, gab die Schenkung des schriftlichen Nachlasses der beiden Konstrukteure durch Hans Ledwinka an das Stadtarchiv Steyr“, sagt der Journalist Hans Stögmüller, der gemeinsam mit dem Techniker Ing. Günther Nagenkögl Autor des Bandes ist. Der promovierte Chemiker Hans Ledwinka lebt in St. Ulrich bei Steyr und ist der Sohn Erichs und der Enkel von Hans Ledwinka.

Mehr als zwanzig Schachteln voll mit schriftlichen Unterlagen, Plänen und Fotos umfasst der Nachlass Ledwinka. Er wurde von Mitgliedern der Historiengruppe der Redtenbacher-Gesellschaft Steyr geordnet und dem Steyrer Stadtarchiv übergeben.

Das Buch gibt einen perfekten Überblick über Leben und Schaffen von Ledwinka Vater und Sohn. Hans Ledwinka, der am 14. Februar 1878 in Klosterneuburg bei Wien geboren wurde, besuchte nach einer Schlosserlehre die Werkmeisterschule in Wien und ging dann als Konstrukteur nach Nesselsdorf in Mähren. Er wirkte bereits beim ersten Auto mit, der als „Präsident“ 1898 vorgestellt wurde.

Nach einer kurzen Zeit bei einem Wiener Dampfwagen-Erzeuger war er ab 1906 als Leiter der Abteilung Automobilbau in Nesselsdorf beschäftigt. Dann kam 1916 der Ruf nach Steyr, wo er die Automobilfertigung aufbaute und den ersten Wagen, den Typ Steyr II, entwickelte. Weitere Typen folgten, doch Ledwinka übersiedelte 1923 wieder nach Nesselsdorf, wo er Werkschef wurde.

Es folgte eine Vielzahl von Personenwagen, darunter die epochale Entwicklung des Tatra 11 mit luftgekühltem Zweizylinder-Motor, Zentralrohrrahmen und Pendelachse, aber auch Stromlinienautos, Lastwagen, Eisenbahnfahrzeuge und Flugzeuge. 1945 wurde Ledwinka verhaftet und wegen Staatsverrats sechs Jahre einsperrt. Anschließend lebte er in München.

Sein Sohn Erich kam 1930 nach dem Maschinenbaustudium an der TH Wien zu seinem Vater nach Nesselsdorf, wo er an der Entwicklung einiger Autos mitarbeitete. 1937 bis 1940 war er beim Flugzeugbauer Bücker in Berlin tätig, um dann wieder zu Tatra zurückzukehren. Ihm gelang rechtzeitig die Flucht vor den Sowjets. Nach freiberuflicher Tätigkeit in Bayern kam er 1950 zu Steyr-Daimler-Puch nach Steyr. Er wurde dafür auserkoren, einen Kleinwagen zu entwickeln, aus dem nach mehreren Varianten der Steyr-Puch 500 mit Fiat-Karosserie entstand.

Anschließend war Erich Ledwinka Technischer Direktor in Graz, wo er für den Haflinger und den Pinzgauer verantwortlich zeichnete. Auch an der Entwicklung des Geländewagens Puch G war er beteiligt, der heute noch in Graz als Mercedes G erzeugt wird. Erich Ledwinka promovierte an der TU Graz zum Doktor der Technischen Wissenschaften.

Hans Ledwinka wurde mit dem Dr. h. c. geehrt und wie auch sein Sohn mit vielen Ehrungen überschüttet. Vorläufiger Höhepunkt war 2007 die Aufnahme in die Ruhmesgalerie (European Automotive Hall of Fame) in der Eingangshalle des Genfer Autosalons. Neben Ferdinand und Ferry Porsche ist Hans Ledwinka der dritte Österreicher in der illustren Runde von Autokonstrukteuren.

Die Autoren:

Günther Nagenkögl, geb. 1946 in Steyr. Von 165 – 1970 bei Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG als Motorenkonstrukteur. Ab Herbst 1985 Gruppenleiter „Neue Motorenprojekte“. 1990 Eintritt in das Motorenforschungsinstitut AVL-List GmbH in Graz. Leitung des Konstruktionsbüros für Nutzfahrzeugmotoren am Standort Steyr. Ab 2009 im Ruhestand. Selbständiger Konsulent für Dieselmotorenkonstruktion.

Hans Stögmüller, geboren 1949 in Steyr, war Redakteur einer oberösterreichischen Tageszeitung. Er beschäftigt sich seit langer Zeit intensiv mit der Geschichte der Eisenstadt Steyr und ihrer Umgebung. Er verfasste die Bücher »Wehrgraben. Führer durch Geschichte und Arbeitswelt« (1987) und zusammen mit Gerhard Sperl und Werner Tippelt den Kulturführer »Österreichische Eisenstraße« (1992). 2010 erschien sein Buch »Josef Werndl und die Waffenfabrik in Steyr«. Als Mitglied des Vereins »Freunde der Geschichte der Stadt Steyr und der Eisenwurzen« ist er auch regelmäßig Autor für das Jahrbuch des Stadtarchivs Steyr.

Essen2016TRD

In the past years, dealers and Autostadt showed T 87s. Not this year however. Only Tatras present were a T 613-1 at the Tatra Register Deutschland club stand and a T 613 offered at the Coys auction. Auction results are unknown, however. The traditional Tatra club stand, run by the TFI till 2014 and since then by the TRD, welcomed several Tatra enthusiasts who are always welcome for a drink and a chat.

TATRA TRUCKS SpA publishes this exclusive publication on the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of the first launch of TATRA vehicles on the Dakar Rally.
The publication “starring Tatra” with the subtitle “30 years of the toughest competitions in the world” follows the evolutionary line competition, accompanying, and of organizing customer TATRA vehicles that occupied by the various competitions and races around the world.
The main motive of the product – TATRA truck, which literally shows the way for many others, even where seemingly there is none. The unique concept of heavy goods vehicle with a unique chassis with a central tube and independently suspended half-axles and suspension ensures mobility even in the most difficult terrain in the world.
Contests and races were for the Tatra, the engineers and workers, always “field laboratory” where they could verify the meaning and viability of their solutions. Literally accelerated endurance and performance tests in a direct comparison with the competition contact exercise led to significant findings in serial production. The application of innovations of higher order or even to confirm the correctness of policy adjustments. The result was and are heavy trucks TATRA fulfilling customer demands for durability, longevity, reliability and economical operation.
Thirty years ago, TATRA entered into competition with cars then brand new business class T 815. Over the years and decades to develop and modify the models and their basic assemblies and components. Customers and competitors showed that the cars very close to those of normal production and even the cars in the standard version can effectively fight and win over once built specifically. Today, after three decades, he takes the baton in the toughest competitions of the world representative of the latest Business Council – TATRA Phoenixx.
The book “starring Tatra” is divided into more than thirty chapters accompanying the reader not only each year of the competition, but also the uniqueness of the design by the Tatra brand contributes to the treasury of the global automotive industry. Combination of information very rich text with hundreds of photos and dozens of original technical drawings is the basis of high value-added paper, which is closer in concept “non-fiction”. The eye and mind of the reader will be pleased that a number of information and photos are published here for the first time.
Concept books working with the Communication story in several graphics processing levels. Each chapter in the book is given over large photographs both sides (A3), followed by photo documentation of the vast majority of the participating vehicles. Pictures themselves provide the original file, which in this complex was never published. Their careful examination together with “consumption” labels given readers a basic picture of the topic. The second level is its own chapter titles that characterize every year competing with TATRA vehicles. Their imaginary arrangement is another way to read the full story accelerated. Somewhat more detailed insight into the problems discussed then brings so. “Intertitles” or a few words the characteristics of the sections – this is the third story.
Of course the best way to plunge into the book is to read the entire text, which provides details in the form of “cream-skimming”, such as the engine serial number, license plate of each vehicle, the fate of competition specials, during the various competitions and more. A separate story are technical drawings of individual vehicles and solving some of their assemblies.
The complexity of the book is enhanced by highly detailed statistics on the participation of the crew of each vehicle in competitions and races. There are two comprehensive tables. The first is devoted to the participation of the crew of Tatra vehicles at the Dakar Rally and other participation in all other competitions.
Book reader will find answers to many questions, from which have often become myths. Reveals not only the development of competition specials and inspects the “constructor kitchen TATRA” but They also learn about the circumstances of nicknames, such as “Zero Car”, “Trainer Dakar,” “Grandma,” “Fire truck”, “Puma”, livescore, “” Petrobras “,” Frog, “” Princess, “” Scuttle “,” Philharmonic “,” Máňa, “” Fat Boy “or” Phoenix “.
Author couple Olšanský Milan and Radomir Smolka is a guarantee of the complexity of the information submitted. Long-term practice of publishing an independent specialist in marketing automotive industry on one hand and high professional erudition award-winning automotive designer and developer not only competition specials TATRA last fifteen years, as well as several new model series heavy duty vehicles TATRA on the other hand, has created a unique book.
