The author and director of the film will be present at the event, as will Josef Ganz' relatives and many other people who appear in the film. For example, the restorer of the Volkswagen Beetle predecessor Standard Superior from Romania or Ganz' godchild. Also on show will be two original cars designed by Josef Ganz, the 1933 Standard Superior Type 2 and the 1946 ‘Swiss Volkswagen’ by Rapid! Enjoy a great occasion on 18 April at 18:15 CET at the film premiere, meet exciting people, and examine the predecessors of the VW Beetle.

NUDNIK Forgetting Josef Ganz Rémy Markowitsch Maikäfer (From the Photo Archive of Josef Ganz, 1930-1933) Rémy Markowitsch Nudnik: Forgetting Josef Ganz Combining sculptural and multimedia works and archival ma- terials, the spatially expansive installation Nudnik: Forgetting Josef Ganz by Swiss artist Rémy Markowitsch deals with the Jewish engineer and journalist Josef Ganz. The artist presented his works in a cabinet space with two connecting corridors at the 2016 exhibition Wolfsburg Unlimited: A City as World La- boratory, the first show curated by Ralf Beil at Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg. The work consists not just of an aesthetic transfe- rence of Ganz’s photographic negatives and written documents to a presentation of large prints or as a video, but by way of the artist’s associative approach represents, as it were, the transil- lumination and “defoliation” of the history of a major figure in the automobile industry of the twentieth century, a figure ba- rely known until now. The processes of defoliation and transillumination, ex- posing hidden narratives, (material) conditions, and webs of relations, are defining aspects of Rémy Markowitsch’ s artistic approach. Driven in his work by certain stories, biographies, and literatures, since 1993 the artist has revealed the results of his research in photographic transilluminations. Just as the term from the realm of radiology describes, the relevant motif is penetrated, x-rayed, and superimposed with a different mo- tif. At the very moment when the photographic images shift from an opaque to a lucid state, they overlap one another. In Moving Forward so doing, the support material moves to the foreground, mat- rix dots become visible as grains and the representation is no longer focused on the act of illustration, but encourages simul- taneous examination.

Josef Ganz Im Silberfisch
Josef Ganz im Silberfisch Rémy Markowitsch 2018 for NEUER NORDEN ZURICH 9.6. – 2.9. 2018 Public Art Zurich (AG KIÖR) Josef Ganz 1898–1967 The processes of defoliation and illumination — the making visible of hidden narratives, situations, and relationship networks — are defining features of Rémy Markowitsch’s artistic working method. In terms of content, the artist is moved by extraordinary stories, biographies, and works of literature, and he manifests the results of his research via diverse media. After an invitation to develop a project for New North Zurich, Markowitsch once again encountered the Jewish car manufacturer Josef Ganz (1898-1967) in Zurich, with whom he had already engaged for the exhibition „Wolfsburg Unlimi- ted“ in the Art Museum Wolfsburg in 2016. Zurich, In der Hub 16, Information Panel on the bombing of 1945 Before the second world war, the Jewish engineer Josef Ganz was a renown editor-in-chief of the special interest magazine Motor-Kri- tik, and he worked for German car manufacturers, such as Daim- ler-Benz, BMW and Adler. He made a significant contribution to German car innovation through his writing and his work as an en- gineer. The highlight was his design for a „Volkswagen“. In 1931, Ganz received high praise as he presented the prototype of his Maikäfer to the automobile world, which encompassed many aspects of the later developed VW Beetle —especially the rear-en- gine, swing-axles and a central tubular chassis. In Januaary 1933, two weeks after the National Socialists seized power, Ganz introduced his production model of the May-Beetle, the Standard Superior, at the International Motor Show in Berlin.

The Return of the Twin
The Return of the Twin! Fiat TwinAir Engine ! ! The twin cylinder engine that has prompted me to look into the history of the twin cylinder automobile engine is the Fiat TwinAir.! The Fiat TwinAir engine, available in some Fiat 500, Panda, and Alfa Romeo Miti's, uses an innovative valve gear technology to optimise performance and efficiency.! With only two cylinders with a total capacity of only 875 cc. and when turbocharged it produces 84 bhp.This in conjunction with an emission level of only 92g/Km, makes it outstanding and a pointer to future engine developments.! Its appropriate that the TwinAir, is produced by Fiat, as they had produced over four million twin cylinder engined cars since 1957.! The TwinAir is in no way related to those previous twins. These first of previous twins were produced for the rear engined 500 Nova, in 1957. An air-cooled parallel twin with a capacity of 479 cc, producing 17 bhp. In 1972 the 500, was joined by the 126, with a similar engine of 594 cc, reducing 23 bhp. This was produced until 1987, the 500, had been discontinued in 1977. The final Fiat twin, was 704 cc, water-cooled unit, producing 26 bhp. First fitted in the 126bis, produced from 1987 to 1992. This engine was available as an option in some markets in the Cinquecento 700, model, produced between 1992 and 1998.! ! ! The Return of the Twin Cylinder Engine into Mainstream Motoring.! ! Since 1998 until the advent of the TwinAir, the twin cylinder engined car has been missing from the mainstream manufacturers showrooms.

The Story of the Rear Engined Passenger Car
The Story of the Rear Engined Passenger car Rumbler Troftenwagen The concept of engine position in the earliest cars is irrelevant as the passengers usually sat on top of the machinery and layout of the latter was dependent on the means of transmitting the engine power to the rear wheels. This led to compact but high cars, but due to the very limited performance was not unduly unstable. Because it made the best use of the technology of the time, the front engine rear wheel drive layout was to become standard about the turn of the century. This allowed a small reduction in height as speed increased and stability became important. For the next thirty years the front engined, rear wheel drive layout was reﬁned resulting in a decrease in height but increasing intrusion of the machinery into the passenger space and the rear seat passengers located over the rear axle. The idea of locating the engine at the rear of the car to overcome this problem was conceived in the nineteen twenties and developed in the thirties. The layout reached a peak of popularity in the nineteen sixties, then fell out of use except for sporting cars after the rise in the popularity of the front wheel drive car. During the period when rear engines cars were produced in millions and one case tens of millions, the engine was usually located outside the wheelbase. It is the cars of this period that I am reviewing here. The vast majority were light cars but there were some notable exceptions as you will see in the following text.The earliest rear engined cars would today be classiﬁed as mid engined cars, such as the Rumbler Troftenwagen and the light cars mentioned below.

NUDNIK Forgetting Josef Ganz Rémy Markowitsch Maikäfer (From the Photo Archive of Josef Ganz, 1930-1933) NUDNIK Forgetting Josef Ganz Rémy Markowitsch Die raumgreifende Installation Nudnik. Forgetting Josef Ganz des Schweizer Künstlers Rémy Markowitsch behandelt in ihrer Zu- sammenstellung aus skulpturalen und multimedialen Arbeiten und Archivalien die Schicksalsgeschichte des jüdischen Ingenieurs und Journalisten Josef Ganz. Der Künstler präsentierte die Sum- me seiner Arbeiten in einem Kabinettraum mit zwei angrenzenden Korridoren in der Ausstellung ,,Wolfsburg Unlimited. Eine Stadt als Weltlabor’’, der ersten kuratierten Schau von Ralf Beil im Kunst- museum Wolfsburg 2016. Diese Auseinandersetzung ist nicht nur eine ästhetische Überführung der fotografischen Negative und schriftlichen Dokumente Ganz’ in eine Präsentation als groß gezo- gene Prints oder als Video, sondern durch den assoziativen Zugang des Künstlers gleichsam die Durchleuchtung und Entblätterung der Geschichte einer bisher kaum beachteten Persönlichkeit der Auto- mobilindustrie des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Prozesse des Entblätterns und Durchleuchtens – also die Sicht- barmachung von verborgenen Erzählungen, (materiellen) Zustän- den und Beziehungsgeflechten – sind bestimmende Merkmale von Rémy Markowitsch’ künstlerischer Arbeitsweise. Inhaltlich seit 1993 von besonderen Geschichten, Biografien und Literaturen angetrieben, offenbart der Künstler durch fotografische Durchleuch- tungen die Ergebnisse seiner Recherchen. Ähnlich wie der Begriff aus dem medizinischen Bereich der Radiologie beschreibt, wird das entsprechende Motiv durchdrungen, also durchleuchtet, und mit einem anderen Motiv überblendet – genau in dem Moment, in dem Moving Forward die fotografischen Bilder von einem opaken in einen luziden Zu- stand wechseln, überlagern sie einander zugleich. Dabei rückt ebenso das Trägermaterial in den Vordergrund, Rasterpunkte werden hervor gekörnt und die Darstellung bleibt nicht mehr auf eine Abbildung fokussiert, sondern fordert zum si- multanen Betrachten auf.

Basic Motoring
Basic motoring The Evolution of the Modern Ultralight Economy car. Honda Zest Preface I began writing this book because no one else has covered the subject comprehensively, there are a lot of books and web pages on individual models that go into minute often extremely boring details but there is nothing to link all of this class of car together that show how the modern ultralight economy car we use today has evolved. First I must explain what I mean by the rather long winded term ultralight economy car. The type of car or if you prefer automobile, that I refer to below can be classiﬁed today by many labels, minicar, economy car, city car, mini compact if you are from USA or an A-segment mini car if you are a European ofﬁcial. None of these describe exactly the type of car I have included in this text. Yes, they were economy cars but very small economy cars with an engine capacity range with some latitude; from 360 cc to 1000 cc. Some could be classed as mini or city cars but not all are and some could be classed as microcars, but they were and are all a relatively low cost form of transport for a great many millions of people around the world in the past and increasingly so today. Page 1 Basic Motoring Austin Voiturette 1909 Introduction. Before the advent of the autobahn, autostrada and motorway, most European urban based car owners and most of those living in the country were content to drive around at a moderate speed, which was all that road conditions would allow.

L’auto m’a valu les plus belles heures de ma vie, je suis vraiment forcé de le dire.» Adolf Hitler était un passionné de voiture. Pas éton- nant qu’à peine nommé au poste de chancelier, il ait voulu inaugurer, en février 1933, le Salon international de l’auto- mobile et de la moto, à Berlin. Le Führer «connaissait tous les types de véhicules et, notam- ment par la lecture des revues spécialisées, savait tout sur les soupapes, les arbres à came, la suspension des roues ou les ca- pacités des moteurs», assure l’historien allemand Volker Ullrich¹.

His masterpiece, a beetle- shaped sedan, was called a Volkswagen (German for "people's car").
