Heinrich Rosier founded a car rental company in Menden on February 28, 1927 . Just two years later, a Derop petrol station and a car repair shop were opened. In the 1930s, Heinrich Rosier went into active car trading and from 1932 sold Mercedes-Benz cars and trucks . A dealer agreement with Auto Union followed in 1936, which included the brands Audi , Horch , Wanderer and DKW .
From 1960 the first wave of expansion followed with the first branch in Neheim (1960), the relocation of the truck workshop to Bodelschwingstrasse (1961) and the purchase of the property on Fröndenberger Strasse (formerly Fröndenberger Landstrasse) with the start of construction of the car dealership (1962) . Today the headquarters of the Rosier Group's main plant with a car and truck workshop, parts warehouse and administration building are located here.
In 1967 a shop - "The Talking Motor Show" - was opened in Menden, before an air dome was built in 1969 as an automobile exhibition . The car center was built in 1970 and inaugurated in 1971. Four years later, a VW works contract was added and in 1976 the “Sauerland car shop” was opened in Neheim. Since the brands Mercedes-Benz and Audi / VW had to present themselves separately from 1977 onwards, the VW-Audi store was established in Menden. In 1981 the second Mercedes branch was established in Hemer . At the same time, a separate Audi store was expanded on Fröndenberger Strasse in Menden.
For the first time in Germany , the VW and Audi brands were offered in their own sales rooms.
In 1989 the foundation stone for the Oldenburg group was laid in addition to the Menden group . In that year Rosier took over an existing Mercedes-Benz agency in Oldenburg and a new store was built. Both Rosier groups have each founded their own holding company. In this organizational form, the parent company - Rosier Holding - united the various legally and organizationally independent subsidiaries under one roof. The Oldenburg group was sold in 2015.
The contacts made with a vehicle repair company immediately after the opening of the border led to a cooperation agreement in 1990 . Subsequently, the companies Auto Rosier Stendal, representatives of Mercedes-Benz AG , and Rosier AVG Stendal were founded as VW / Audi dealerships. In the period that followed, Rosier moved four times. The Autostadt Rosier Stendal , a newly built company, was opened in 1993. In 1996, Rosier took over a VW / Audi company on Arnsberger Strasse in Arnsberg / Neheim-Hüsten . An Audi house was built and the Arnsberg Mercedes-Benz branch on Bahnhofstrasse in Neheim was expanded to include the vacated VW / Audi Rosier building.
In 1999, Rosier opened a market for used vehicles of all brands in Arnsberg under the name “Autostrada”. In 2000, Rosier took over the Mercedes house of the Metzner company in Westerstede. In the Sauerland, the Heinrich Rosier car dealership took over the territory of the Mercedes-Benz representative Hövel and acquired its facilities in Arnsberg, Meschede and Schmallenberg . A commercial vehicle center was opened in 2001 on Bremer Heerstraße in Oldenburg. Rosier expanded further in the Sauerland and took over the Mercedes-Benz workshop in Sundern . The Mercedes-Benz locations in Arnsberg were merged in a large new building on Eickelstrasse in the Große Wiese industrial park in 2002.

A new VW dealership was built in 82 working days; the opening of the Autostadt Rosier Arnsberg took place on October 10, 2004. In April 2006, Rosier expanded its business area to East Westphalia and took over the Mercedes-Benz representative Hofmann in Paderborn with six operations. The number of employees grew by 200 to 1,400.
Rosier became a Peugeot contract partner for sales and service in the Sauerland, and three new car dealerships in Arnsberg, Meschede and Soest (Peugeot) were opened. With effect from January 1, 2007, the Rosier Group in Menden founded Rosier Holding as the parent company for all trading companies.
