Company history

The company from Pasing (today's district of Munich ) began producing automobiles in 1921 under the direction of Walter Schuricht . The brand name was Schuricht . At the then Landsberger Strasse 70 (today Bodenseestrasse) stood the production hall, on the front part of which there was also Schuricht's house. Production ended in 1923. The Bavarian Automobile Plant took over the company.

vehicles

Schuricht's goal was to build solid and affordable vehicles for a broad section of the population during the post-war period . The company manufactured the PK 3 4/12 PS and PK 4 5/15 PS models . In both models, water-cooled four - cylinder engines provided the drive. The three-speed sod gear with gate shift shifted from the middle of the car had an additional reverse gear. Sports two-seaters, limousines and open touring cars with space for four people were on offer . All vehicles had a long bonnet that could be opened to the right and left and were fitted with full-disk wheels. The structure was made of steel-clad plywood. In addition, three racing cars with a streamlined body were created, one of which - painted with a white and blue diamond pattern - was used by Walter Schuricht in a race on the Solitude race track in 1923 .
