Company History
Zündapp traversed every chapter of German motor history—from stout prewar tourers to beloved postwar mopeds that carried students and workers. Engineering emphasized longevity: good metallurgy, careful tolerances, and parts availability. Economic shifts ended production, but the marque remains a byword for durability and handsome, purposeful design that still charms at vintage meets.
