history

The company was founded in 1904 by Hugo Güldner , Carl von Linde and Georg von Krauss in Munich as Güldner-Motoren-Gesellschaft as a GmbH .

The factories were relocated to Aschaffenburg as early as 1906. The first attempts to build a tractor took place in 1925. But the project was unsuccessful. Technical data are no longer available today.

From 1925 to 1926 a motorcycle (with a 498 cc engine, similar to the contemporary Norton ) was produced.

In 1929 Güldner was completely taken over by Linde's ice machines . The next attempt to get into tractor construction was made in 1936 with the development of a 20 hp tractor. The tractor was made by Deuliewag in Berlin . Political cooperation between the two companies was also envisaged through the Schell Plan . From 1942, the AZ 25 wood gas tractor developed by Güldner was built by both companies. In 1949 a new series was presented that comprised tractors with between 16 and 30 hp. The Multitrak equipment carrier appeared in 1954 and was created in collaboration with Fahr and Ritscher . In 1958 Güldner agreed with the machine factory Fahr in Gottmadingen to work together on the production of tractors. A year later, the Europa series produced by both manufacturers was presented. After the cooperation with Fahr ended in 1962, Güldner presented the new G series. Various engines were installed, at least mostly from the new L71 / 79 series, including the powerful 6 L 79 engine that powered the G60 and G75 tractors. Many models in the G series were available with all-wheel drive . In 1969, both the production of tractors and engine production were discontinued. By then, around 100,000 tractors had been manufactured in Aschaffenburg.

The industrial truck division remained with Linde, the spare parts business was sold to competitor Deutz . In 1991 the trade name Güldner was deleted from the commercial register.

Engines

Originally, Güldner-Werke manufactured engines with an output of 60 to 600 hp; later they switched to the construction of small diesel engines . In the early period after the Second World War , two-cylinder engines were an avowed specialty of the company, around 1960 a 1- to 6-cylinder engine series (L71, later L79) was added. In Spain at Diter there was a license production of the 1-cylinder engine LKA (further developed there to LKB), this continued for a few years after the end of the Güldner company.

In 1955 Güldner introduced hydrostatic elements as a technical innovation. This invention was later instrumental to the success of Linde - trucks at. These elements have been used to produce industrial trucks under the Hydrocar brand name since the late 1950s .

Tractors

Between 1935 and 1969 the Güldner company offered the following types of tractors. Different models of the same construction time and performance are different engines, one model with water cooling and one with air cooling . The tractors were built by the Linde company in Aschaffenburg. This is why they are called Linde-Güldner.
