history
In 1945 the first Abt vehicle, a truck with a wooden body and benches, drove from Rechberg to Schwäbisch Gmünd.
At the beginning of the 1950s, the Abbot Omnibusverkehr took up city bus traffic with Daimler-Benz and Magirus-Deutz buses with front-engined engines and “snout”. Both the Deutsche Bundespost ( Kraftpost ) and the local bus company shied away from the financial risk of establishing local transport connecting the city districts. The then small company Abt took the risk, even without financial support from the city. Advised by lawyer Julius Klaus , a city transport system was developed for Schwäbisch Gmünd. From 1957 Mercedes-Benz O 321 H were also used. In the mid-1960s, the MAN type Metrobus followed . TIM printers were used as ticket printers . In the 1970s to 1990s, various standard buses were used.
