The Porsche AG (long form . Hc F. Porsche Aktiengesellschaft ) is a German automobile manufacturer with headquarters in Stuttgart - Zuffenhausen . The company's origin is a design office founded by Ferdinand Porsche in Stuttgart in 1931 , which after 1945 became an automobile factory that mainly produced sports cars .

Porsche AG has been part of the Volkswagen Group since 2009 and should not be confused with the listed Porsche Automobil Holding ( Porsche SE for short ), which is also based in Stuttgart and has been the majority shareholder of Volkswagen AG since 2009.

history

Beginnings

On December 1, 1930, Ferdinand Porsche set up his own design office in Stuttgart, Kronenstrasse 24. He had started to work as a mechanic for the electric motor manufacturer Béla Egger & Co. in 1893 . In 1897, at the age of 22, he became head of the testing department and was involved in the development of the Egger-Lohner electric vehicle, also known as the Porsche P1 . At the end of 1899 Porsche was poached and switched to the kuk Hofwagenfabrik Ludwig Lohner & Co. in Vienna as a designer . In the same year, Porsche constructed a successor to the electric carriage, which was presented at the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris under the name "Lohner-Porsche". Porsche left the company after eight years. This was followed by 17 years as technical director (chief designer) at Austro-Daimler in Wiener Neustadt . From April 1923 onwards, Porsche was head of the design office and member of the board of directors of Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft in Stuttgart (part of Daimler-Benz AG from 1926 ) for six years . Most recently, Porsche worked as chief designer at the Steyr works . The Technical Universities of Vienna and Stuttgart honored Porsche's design achievements with the award of an honorary doctorate . The title was in 1931 in the company Dr. Ing. H. c. F. Porsche GmbH taken over.

On April 25, 1931, the design office in Stuttgart at Kronenstrasse 24 was opened as Dr. Ing.hc F. Porsche GmbH, construction and consulting for engine and vehicle construction entered in the register for corporate companies. 80% of the company's shares were held by Porsche, 10% by the businessman and racing driver Adolf Rosenberger and 10% by his son-in-law, the Viennese lawyer Anton Piëch . In addition to his son Ferry Porsche , the first employees included chief engineer Karl Rabe , gear specialist Karl Fröhlich, engine specialist Josef Kales and axle construction specialist Josef Zahradnik. Later employees were the automobile designer Erwin Komenda , the aerodynamics specialist Josef Mickl and the engine engineer Franz Xaver Reimspieß . Adolf Rosenberger made sure that, despite the lack of orders and Porsche's tendency towards expensive designs, the office survived the early days financially, but left the management on January 31, 1933. Baron Hans von Veyder-Malberg became the new commercial director and, with a ten percent stake, new shareholders. On July 30, 1935, Rosenberger ceded his ten percent shareholding in Porsche GmbH at nominal value to Ferry Porsche.

As one of the first orders, the design office developed the small car Porsche Type 12 for Zündapp in Nuremberg in 1931. The number of Porsche developments began with 7, presumably in order to generate greater trust in the young company among clients. The car was initially planned with a one-liter engine. The prototype had a water-cooled 1.2-liter five - cylinder radial engine . Later, the mid-range Porsche Type 32 was designed for NSU , which already had a lot in common with the VW Beetle: The NSU Porsche also had an air-cooled four-cylinder boxer engine in the rear and the patented Porsche torsion bar suspension . However, due to the high production costs, these vehicles did not go into series production, so the orders were not very lucrative. The same was true for the construction of a two-liter touring car for hikers . From 1933 onwards, the development of the Grand Prix racing car, the Auto Union racing car , with a 16-cylinder mid-engine - then called the rear engine - was very successful. The racing car contract signed with Auto-Union in March 1933 ended in June 1936.

From 1934, the office designed the German Volkswagen, later also called KdF-Wagen or VW Beetle , on behalf of the Reich Association of the Automotive Industry . This order and the resulting position as the design office of the newly founded Volkswagenwerk GmbH , in which Ferdinand Porsche was managing director and member of the supervisory board, developed into the economic basis of the design office.

1937 to 1972: Dr. Ing.hc F. Porsche KG

Due to the good earnings situation, Veyder-Malberg was paid out in December 1937. This changed the legal form of the engineering office into a limited partnership , which existed until 1972. The office moved to today's premises in Stuttgart- Zuffenhausen . In addition to Ferdinand Porsche, his children Ferry with 15% and Louise with 5% and her husband Anton Piëch with 10% were now partners. From 1937 to April 1945, for example, the Volkswagen factory paid invoices from Porsche KG totaling 20.6 million  RM for development and testing expenses as well as other services. In 1937, the development of the people's tractor began on behalf of the DAF . During the Second World War , among other things, the designs of the bucket car and float car were created on the drawing boards at Porsche . At the end of 1939, the Heereswaffenamt commissioned the design office to plan a medium-weight battle tank, which, however, was discontinued early in favor of heavy tank models. Porsche also received development contracts for these types of tanks ( tiger , elephant and mouse ).

Prototype of the Porsche Tiger

However, the Porsche Tiger was not used because of a complicated and unreliable gasoline-electric drive and higher production costs.

The development plant, which had been set up in Zuffenhausen since 1937, was equipped with its own joinery, sheet metal processing, paint shop and assembly shop, and stood on a plot of around 30,000 square meters. In the summer of 1944 656 people were employed there. In addition, there were probably around 300 forced laborers and prisoners of war during the war. In 1944 the company generated a profit of around RM 2.1 million.

From the summer of 1944, the administration with the important files, contracts and construction drawings as well as parts of the production were relocated to the Porsche factory in Gmünd in Austria. In addition, 931,000 RM were transferred to Austria in the last months of the war. From July 1947 on, the Austrian Porsche-Konstruktionen-Ges.mbH, under the management of Ferry Porsche , son of Ferdinand Porsche, also developed the first car with the name Porsche - the 356 No. 1 Roadster - and its production version 356 . The latter was built in a small series of 47 pieces until 1950.

Porsche 356

Ferry Porsche took over the chairmanship of the Stuttgart company from his father in 1947 when the latter was a prisoner of war in France . The suspicion of involvement in war crimes against Ferry was quickly dropped and he was able to continue the business, also to finance a bail for the father together with his sister Louise Piëch .

In September 1948, Porsche signed its first contract with the Volkswagen factory under the direction of the new General Director Heinrich Nordhoff . The previously existing general contract for all VW development work was replaced by a case-by-case and freely negotiable order. In addition to stipulating a non-competition clause for the use of Porsche's patents, a license fee of 0.1% of the gross list price was agreed, which in 1950 for the standard version of a Beetle corresponded to an amount of DM 5. In December 1949, a new agreement followed with a license fee of 1% of the gross sales price of the standard version, which in 1952 was limited to DM 1 for more than 150,000 vehicles. For the collaboration with VW development work, a monthly remuneration of 40,000 DM - increased to 240,000 DM by 1952 and later to 480,000 DM - as well as the sole sale of Volkswagen vehicles in Austria as the general importer , from which today's Porsche Holding emerged. The VW development department was finally separated from Porsche KG. This formed a financial basis for the Stuttgart car plant. In 1949 Albert Prinzing became the commercial director .

When Ferdinand Porsche died in 1951, Ferry Porsche inherited half of the company's shares and built up the sports car company that is known today. Porsche's world-famous trademark, the Porsche crest, is also based on a design by Ferry. His sister Louise, married to Anton Piëch, inherited the other half of the company's shares.

The Stuttgart company, which was placed under asset control in 1945, was transferred back in October 1950. It was worth around 1.2 million DM. In addition, there was income from license and patent fees. In 1950, Porsche began production of the 356 model in Zuffenhausen with a total of 400 vehicles. At the end of production in 1965, the total number was 76,302. In 1963, the manufacturer's most famous model followed, the 911 . Among other things, the Porsche tractor and, from 1958, the Leopard 1 battle tank were developed in the design department.

1972: Dr. Ing.hc F. Porsche AG

The excess of staff among the family members with respective management functions has led to disputes and family quarrels several times in the course of the company's history. Ferry Porsche and Louise Piëch decided in 1972 because of the lack of competence in the generation of their children that no family members were allowed to work in the societies of the family after them. The founder's grandchildren, development manager Ferdinand Piëch , production manager Hans-Peter Porsche and chief designer Ferdinand Alexander Porsche , then left the company, and Dr. Hc F. Porsche KG became Porsche Aktiengesellschaft in the same year . Ernst Fuhrmann became the new CEO and thus Ferry Porsche's successor . In 1984 the company's non-voting preference shares were listed on the stock exchange for DM 780 each; the opening price was DM 1020. The ordinary shares remained in the possession of the Piëch and Porsche families.

Until the 1980s, Porsche asserted itself successfully on the sports car market with a relatively small number of units. Porsche ran into economic difficulties at the end of the 1980s, in particular due to a sharp drop in the dollar exchange rate. In the 1991/92 financial year, the manufacturer sold only 23,000 vehicles and a year later posted a loss of DM 240 million.

Wendelin Wiedeking became spokesman for the board in 1992 and chairman of the board in 1993 until 2009. Profits have been reported again since the 1994/95 financial year and the company had developed into the most profitable automobile manufacturer in the world and the largest taxpayer in Stuttgart , ahead of Daimler-Benz . Within two years the management was radically restructured and the product range expanded.

In 1993 Porsche presented the Boxster as a prototype at the Detroit Motor Show, and in August 1996 it was launched in Germany. The mid-engine roadster Boxster has been expanding the range since 1996 - as has the Cayman coupé model since 2005. In 1997, the 996 was the first Porsche 911 to be built with water cooling instead of the air cooling that has been common for decades and thus adapted to the sports car segment. From 2002 onwards, the company also entered the sport utility vehicle (SUV) market with the first generation of the Porsche Cayenne.

In 2006, Porsche was the smallest independent German car manufacturer with sales of 97,000 vehicles. As Die Welt am Sonntag reported , citing a study by the forecasting institute B & D-Forecast, Porsche earned an average of 21,799 euros per vehicle before taxes. This is nine times as much as the second-placed BMW.

In 1999 there was a controversy about the compensation of former Nazi forced laborers . On the grounds that the company was founded in 1948, Porsche initially refused all compensation payments, despite a lawsuit by a 74-year-old Pole who had done forced labor at Porsche from 1942 to 1945. After the lawsuit was dismissed by the Stuttgart regional court, Porsche joined the German business foundation's initiative , which aimed to regulate the compensation of forced laborers with a billion-dollar fund . In addition, the company undertook to "immediately compensate all people who can plausibly substantiate their involuntary work with 10,000 marks each". At that time, five people had registered as former forced laborers at Porsche.

Relationship with Volkswagen

The first Porsche 356 sports cars  (1948) contained many VW components. Later joint commitments were the Porsche 914 , also known as VW-Porsche (1969/1970), and the Porsche 924 , which Porsche initially developed for Volkswagen, but, contrary to original plans, sold under its own name from 1976 to 1988. In the early 1990s, Porsche produced the Audi RS2 , a station wagon based on the Audi 80 Avant at the time, with a turbo-charged five-cylinder engine that bore visible Porsche features and the Porsche logo, on behalf of the Volkswagen subsidiary. The Porsche Cayenne and VW Touareg off-road vehicles were developed until 2002 under the leadership of Porsche on the basis of a common platform. Therefore, chassis, electrical and shell components are largely identical. In addition, the body of both vehicles is produced in the VW plant in Bratislava .

From 1993 to 2002 Ferdinand Piëch , Ferdinand Porsche's grandson and main shareholder of Porsche AG (and "spiritual father" of the legendary Porsche 917 as head of the then racing department in Weissach), was Chairman of the Board of Management at Volkswagen, until April 2015 he was Chairman of the Supervisory Board of VW Group.

From 2005, Porsche had continuously expanded its stake in VW . After the acquisition of 30.9% of the ordinary shares in Volkswagen, the operative business of Porsche AG was spun off into a newly founded subsidiary Porsche Vermögensverwaltungs AG in 2007 by resolution of an extraordinary general meeting . The holdings in VW and the new Porsche Vermögensverwaltungs AG were excluded from the spin-off . Subsequently, on November 13, 2007, the "old" Porsche AG was converted into Porsche Automobil Holding SE (Porsche SE for short) and Porsche Vermögensverwaltungs AG again became Dr. Ing.hc F. Porsche AG, which continues the car production as a wholly owned subsidiary.

2009: loss of independence

After outsourcing automobile production, Porsche SE further expanded its stake in VW in the course of 2007 and 2008 with the aim of gaining control over VW. The acquisition of the stake was financed through bank liabilities of 10 billion euros.

In May 2009, however, Porsche announced that it would aim to create an "integrated automotive group" with Volkswagen. The background to the announcement were financing problems with the bank loans, which forced Porsche to abandon the planned takeover of VW. It was also announced that the previous CEO of Porsche, Wendelin Wiedeking, and his representative Holger Härter - both of whom had pushed the failed takeover of Volkswagen - are leaving the company. In December 2009, Volkswagen acquired a 49.9 percent stake in Porsche AG from Porsche SE.

On August 1, 2012, Volkswagen took over Porsche AG completely.

The merger of the two companies between 2007 and 2012 is described in the article about Porsche Automobil Holding .

Influence of the company on the auto industry

Porsche was very successful in many areas of racing. Porsche deserves particular attention for its successes in the Le Mans 24-hour race (19 victories), in Formula 1 (a victory in 1962, engines for McLaren under the TAG label in the 1980s ) and in the Targa Florio (11 victories) and in the Paris-Dakar rally with the 959 model  .

Some companies in the vehicle industry seek advice from Porsche when developing new models and especially when developing engines . These include Audi , Volkswagen , Studebaker , Seat , Lada , Daewoo , Opel and Subaru , among others . For Harley-Davidson , the Porsche Engineering Group developed, in addition to the prototype Nova (1979–1980), the engines of the Evo (1984–1999) and VRSC (2002–) series. Among many other things the shaft drive motorcycles of stems Yamaha of development work Porsches.

The Porsche Engineering Group , a wholly owned subsidiary of Porsche AG, which mainly relies on the development center in Weissach , fulfills such development contracts . The series vehicles are also developed there.

Porsche coat of arms

The Porsche crest was created in 1952. 1954 is occasionally mentioned as the year of design. The coat of arms first appeared on a steering wheel hub at the end of 1952, and it has been on the front hood of every production Porsche since 1954.

Ferry Porsche commissioned the advertising manager Hermann Lapper to design a company logo. The goal was a seal of quality for the Porsche Type 356. The design was ultimately created by Franz Xaver Reimspieß - a Porsche engineer who was gifted in drawing. Another source names Erwin Komenda as the author. Until today only little things have changed on the coat of arms. Today it is one of the most famous trademarks in the world. The individual components of the coat of arms symbolize the importance of the Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen production site in (Baden-) Württemberg. The Porsche coat of arms contains the Stuttgart heraldic animal, the coat of arms of the Free People's State of Württemberg from 1922 and the words "Porsche" and "Stuttgart".

About the individual components of the coat of arms:

The law regarding the colors and coats of arms of Württemberg came into force on February 20, 1922 and laid down a quartered coat of arms, whereby fields 1 and 4 were gold with three black stag sticks, fields 2 and 3 divided three times by black and red National colors .

The family coat of arms of the House of Württemberg, three black stag sticks lying on top of each other on a yellow shield, can be found in the oldest tradition in 1228 as a seal imprint of Count Konrad I of (Württemberg-) Grüningen, who sealed a donation in Accon.

The coat of arms of Stuttgart shows a horse, going back to Duke Luitolf von Schwaben, who laid out a “Stuotgarten” (horse stud farm ) in the Nesenbach valley in 950 and built a moated castle to protect it , from which today's old Stuttgart Castle emerged. A horse has graced Stuttgart's city seal since 1312.

Exhaust scandal

In the course of the emissions scandal , the Stuttgart public prosecutor's office started investigations against individual Porsche employees in 2017. In the same year, Porsche was instructed by the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) to recall 21,500 Cayenne diesel vehicles and in 2018 another 60,000 more of the Cayenne and Macan types. In all of these vehicles, illegal shutdown devices can lead to increased nitrogen oxide emissions. A few months after this request, Porsche announced in September 2018 that it wanted to discontinue the production of diesel-powered vehicles.

In May 2019, the Stuttgart public prosecutor imposed a fine of 535 million euros on Porsche for negligent violation of the duty to supervise . In July 2019, the German Environmental Aid (DUH) reported again that Porsche diesel vehicles complying with the Euro 5 and Euro 6 emissions standard exceeded the limit values ​​for nitrogen oxides (NOx) while driving many times over. The limit value for laboratory measurements, however, is adhered to. The DUH denies the effectiveness of the retrofits, although their review also confirmed a reduction in emissions of around 38 percent. The engine manufacturer (VW group) pointed out that the values ​​should be determined in the laboratory. This view is confirmed by the Federal Motor Transport Authority.

Company profile

Production sites

Vehicles are manufactured in the main plant in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen and the Leipzig plant (as well as at Volkswagen Osnabrück ). The domestic share of the 911 type is 65 percent, while the Cayenne off-road vehicle, which is partly manufactured by Volkswagen Slovakia in Slovakia, is 35 percent. Valmet Automotive in Finland builds or built the Porsche Boxster and Cayman models .

distribution

Porsche vehicles have been sold in Germany through Porsche Centers since 1991, of which there were 86 in 2016. Until the beginning of the 1990s, sales took place through a total of 220 Porsche dealers, most of whom were originally or at the same time Volkswagen dealers. The aftermath of this sales alliance with VW, which emerged from Porsche's early years, can still be discovered today in the often close proximity between VW dealers and Porsche centers.

Porsche sells its models worldwide through a network of around 830 Porsche centers. In addition, there are 43 Porsche centers around the world which, as certified Porsche Classic Partners, take care of the maintenance and repair of classic Porsche vehicles. In the Netherlands ( Gelderland province ) and France ( Rouen ), the world's first Porsche Classic Centers, dedicated centers only for classic vehicles, were opened in 2015 and 2016.

In Experience Centers in Los Angeles , Atlanta , Le Mans , Silverstone and Leipzig , Porsche offers visitors driving programs and training on their own test and development tracks.

Since the summer of 2000, sales in Germany have been carried out by the sales company Porsche Deutschland GmbH, which was founded for this purpose . The company based in Bietigheim-Bissingen had around 100 employees in the year 2007.

    Motorsport

    Joakim Bonnier in the Porsche 804 at the 1962 German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring
    Niki Lauda at the 1984 USA Grand Prix in a McLaren-TAG-Porsche MP4 / 2

    The first race and class victory of a Porsche came on August 1, 1948, when Herbert Kaes, a nephew of Ferdinand Porsche, drove the prototype Porsche 356 No. 1 at the city race in Innsbruck.

    Porsche's first works outing in motorsport was in 1951 at the Le Mans 24-hour race , which Porsche has now won 19 times. Private drivers such as Walter Glöckler , Otto Mathé , Rudolph Sauerwein and Heinrich Graf von der Mühle-Eckart had already made the brand known in the previous three years. Since then, the Porsche works team has achieved well over 50 victories in the sports car world championship.

    Although Porsche's motorsport commitment to this day has mainly focused on sports car races, the company was also active as a chassis and engine supplier in formula racing at various times , including Formula 2 and Formula 1 . In the early 1960s, Porsche also appeared as a works team in formula racing.

    The return to formula racing came only 20 years later as an engine supplier in the 1983 season . With funding and naming by the company Techniques d'Avant Garde (TAG), Porsche provided turbo engines for the McLaren team. In 1984 drivers Niki Lauda and Alain Prost won twelve of the 16 races of the season with the McLaren MP4 / 2 , with three double victories for the two drivers, and gave the team an overwhelming victory in the Constructors' World Championship, in which McLaren had a lead of Scored 86 points ahead of Ferrari. Niki Lauda became world champion. In 1985 , his team-mate Alain Prost prevailed and secured another championship for Porsche. At the end of the 1987 season , the cooperation between Porsche, TAG and McLaren ended. The last chapter of Porsche's Formula 1 involvement took place in 1991 with the Footwork team . The races of these vehicles were disappointing, however, and after the sixth race, the Mexican Grand Prix, the cooperation between Footwork and Porsche was therefore ended by mutual agreement.

    The 1986 Paris – Dakar rally was won with this Porsche 959

    Between 1987 and 1990, Porsche competed in the Champ Car Championship as its own team . Porsche vehicles were also used in rallying . For example, Vic Elford and Björn Waldegård won the Monte Carlo Rally in 1968, 1969 and 1970 in a Porsche 911 . Porsche was also able to win the International Championship for Manufacturers in 1970 as the forerunner of the World Rally Championship . In the short-lived Group B of the 1980s, a rally version of the Porsche 959 was also used.

    Porsche Museum

    The new Porsche Museum

    Since 1976, Porsche has had its own factory museum on the factory premises, in which constantly changing exhibits were presented. In 2005 the company commissioned a new Porsche Museum on Porsche-Platz in Zuffenhausen, which was opened to the public on January 31, 2009.
