Artwork for H. Büssing, Braunschweig : Hermann Fischer : Advert for Hansa Automobil Werke AG : artwork by Ernst Neumann : in Das Plakat : Sonder Heft Maschininenindustrie , März 1920 : Verlag Das Plakat : Charlottenburg 2 , Berlin, Deutschland

            From the special issue in März - March 1920 of the German graphic arts magazine "Das Plakat"; two adverts.

Firstly, an advert issued by the vehicle manufacturer H. Büssing of Braunschweig in 1919 for their truck and bus chassis. Büssing were formed in 1903 by Heinrich Büssing and became known for their successful range of motor bus and truck chassis. The company were eventually acquired by MAN AG in 1971.

The advert is one of a series for Büssing shown in this special issue of Das Plakat and is by artist and designer Hermann Fischer. Fisher also designed the Büssing 'lion' logo that is based on a stylised Brunswick Lion – the city of Braunschweig was founded by Henry the Lion – and the colors of the old Duchy of Brunswick, blue and yellow. The text "Spezial Lastzug für holztransport" - "Special truck for timber transport".

The second advert is by another well known poster designer Ernst Neumann and is for the Hansa Automobil Werke AG of Varel - Oldenburg. Hansa had a rather complex history, formed in 1905 and that in 1914 merged with Lloyd. Never financially stable it was acquired by Borgward in 1931. One of their earliest factories was in Varel in Lower Saxony and between 1909 - 1911 a new factory was constructed for vehicle manufacturing. The works closed in 1930 by the architecturally important structure has survived.
