45th Borgward International Meeting Hamburg 23-25th August 2019

Dear Club Friends

After we had meetings in big cities like Berlin, Bremen and Essen, it is finally time, to visit Hamburg, the Birthplace Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Borgward
The world city on the Elbe, which is characterized by shipping and has a population of around 1.9 million, is therefore also nicknamed Gate to the World

In addition to countless sights, the huge harbour area is called, which is controlled daily by gigantic ocean liners from all over the world. The venerable, baroque Michaelisk, former landmark of the city of Hamburg, towers with 132m height above the large urban area. Only recently has it been supplemented by the new one Eibphilharmonie.

But if you are looking for the nightlife in Hamburg, take a stroll through St. Pauli with the famous Reeperbahn a journey by itself.

The occasion of our Borgward meeting in this city, however, is a very special one: on 10.11.1890 our neighbourhood in the district of Altona was Company founder Carl F. W. Borgward born.After finishing school and studying, he moved to the Hanseatic city of Bremen, where he founded his first company, the "Bremer Kotflügel- und Kühlerfabrik", as a supplier to the auto industry as early as 1919. His first motor-driven vehicle followed in 1924,
the "light truck".The 1959 designed vehicles Lloyd Arabella, Borgward P 100 and the trucks B 622/655 celebrate this year's 60th anniversary - also the Hansa 1100 (model 60), which was produced and sold from the fall of 1959.
