The Röhr Junior is a car of the middle class , which the automobile company New Rohr AG 1933 brought out. The name "Röhr 4" was also circulating in the press, but Röhr's head of advertising, Karl Michael Knittel , paid attention to the name he had chosen, "Junior", which was first used for an automobile. In order to rule out the risk that would have been associated with an in-house development, the construction of the Tatra 75 was taken over under license (in the factory, the tube was apparently listed as "Type 59" by this manufacturer). The first prototypes of the Junior still had the chassis of the Tatra 57 .
The front wheels were individually suspended, like a double wishbone axle, on two transverse leaf springs that were attached to the supporting engine block. At the rear there was an "articulated" pendulum axle with a transverse leaf spring (both semi-axles each had a ring gear and a drive pinion, which rolled on each other during compression). Behind the front axle was an air-cooled 4-cylinder boxer engine with overhead valves , which powered the rear wheels via a 4-speed gearbox and a shaft in the central tube of the frame. The bodies of the limousines were built by Drauz and those of the convertibles by Autenrieth . Around 1,700 of the 6/30 HP car were made by 1935. This made the Röhr Junior the brand's most successful model.
When its production was discontinued, automobile production in Ober-Ramstadt was given up. The tools and the license were taken over by the Stoewer works .
