Brands of an Epoch - Porsche »
Born in 1875, Ferdinand Porsche discovered his technical talent in his father´s metalworks. Without ever having enjoyed a higher education he became an astonishing constructor. After receiving an honorary doctorate from the University of Technology in Vienna, he founded his own office in Stuttgart, the Dr. Ing. h. c. F. Porsche GmbH, Konstruktionen und Beratung für Motoren und Fahrzeuge, which moved to Zuffenhausen in 1937. For the first cars with the name Porsche that were built in the outsourced construction office of the factory in Gmünd from 1948 onwards, the emblem was designed in 1952, which shows the quartering, the deer antler and the red and black stripes from the coat of arms of Württemberg-Hohenzollern in combination with the horse of Stuttgart.
