FOUNDATIONIn 1934 an Austrian engineer Johann (Hans) Trunkenpolz set up a metalworking and locksmith shop in Mattighofen. In 1937 he started selling DKW motorcycles and Opel cars the following year. His shop was known as Kraftfahrzeug Trunkenpolz

Mattighofen but the name was unregistered. During the Second World War his wife took care of the business which 

grew mainly of diesel engine repairs.After the war, demand for repair works fell sharply and Trunkenpolz started thinking about producing his own motorcycles. The prototype of first motorcycle R100 was produced in 1951.All of the components of the motorcycle were produced in house, except for the Rot ax engines which 

were made by Fichtel & Sachs.
