DKW F89P Meisterklasse Ersatzteilelist

This 1950 DKW Meisterklasse spare parts list is an oddity as it is actually published in East Germany. It is published in Chemnitz, the home of Auto-Union and the office address is in Zschopau. The original Auto-Union company had been dissolved in East Germany in 1948 and replaced by IFA. Yet here is the new Auto-Union advertising its products in its former home town. It goes to show that East and West Germany were not entirely separated in the 1950s.

1950 DKW F8 German Owners Manual

In 1945 there were 65,000 DKW cars still registered for the road in Germany. The fact that DKWs were not seized for military use during the war meant that the new Auto Union company had a substantial ready made market for repairs, service and spare parts and this lifeline carried the company through the immediate post war years. This is a 1950 reprint of the 1938 DKW F8 owners manual. In 1950 DKW had only just started production of the Schnellaster van (August 1949) and the new DKW F89P Meisteklasse wouldn't be ready until later that year.
