Auto Union was a joint venture of four
German automobile manufacturers, established in
1932 in
Zwickau,
Saxony, during the
Great Depression. The company has evolved into present day
Audi, as an independent subsidiary of
Volkswagen.The
trademark of Auto Union was a symbol of four overlapping rings, symbolizing the four member companies (all four in a line, in an attempt to avoid confusion with the 5
Olympic rings). The trademarks and company names of the member companies -
Horch, Audi,
DKW and
Wanderer - were continued; the four ring logo was used only in racing. The four ring logo of Auto Union is still a trademark, and now used by Audi. They continued to market the
two-stroke engined DKW brand until 1964.
