The Kersting model workshops were a German automobile manufacturer in Waging am See . The company was founded by the architect and designer Walter Maria Kersting and his sons Arno , Gerwald and Rainer in 1949. Initially, the company dealt with industrial design .

In 1950 the Kleine Kersting was launched, a miniature car with a plywood body, without doors and with a removable hard top . He was a DKW - two-stroke engine driven through a three-speed transmission. Walter Maria Kersting had already designed the construction in the 1920s.

A sales price of DM 2500 was planned, but there was no interested party for series production. In 1953, the project was abandoned after more powerful engines had been tested that resulted in the abandonment of the original rubber band suspension.
