The Wanderer W1 5/12 PS , also called Wanderer Puppchen , was a small open touring car that the Wanderer-Werke from Chemnitz brought out in 1912. It had two seats in a row and two doors on the left side of the vehicle.

At the front there was a counter-controlled 4-cylinder in-line engine with 1.15 liter displacement, which produced 12 hp and powered the rear wheels via a 3-speed gearbox with a shift lever on the inside right.

The following year the Wanderer W2 5/15 PS appeared with a slightly larger engine (1.22 liters, 15 PS). In addition to the tandem arrangement of the seats (model H), there was also the two-seater with seats arranged side by side (model N). All models with seats next to each other only had a door on the left side.

In 1914 the third version appeared, the Wanderer W3 5/15 HP with an enlarged engine (1.29 liters, 15 HP). In addition to the two-seater, there was now also a three-seater (model Nv). The car was manufactured in this configuration until 1919.

The Wanderer W4 5/15 HP only appeared after the First World War . Again, the engine's displacement had been slightly increased. With an output of 17 hp, the displacement was 1.3 liters. In addition, the engine had hanging instead of the previously standing exhaust valves. The tandem two-seater (model H) was no longer offered.

In 1925 the car was revised again. The Wanderer W8 5/20 PS kept the same engine, which made 5 PS more. The two-seater model (model N) was omitted, but a four-seater was offered in addition to the three-seater.

In 1926 the production of the small car was stopped after approx. 9000 copies without a successor.
