Louis Krause Krankenfahrzeugfabrik
Krausemobil
The Krausemobil was built in 1961 by the private company Louis Krause Krankenfahrzeugfabrik in Leipzig, to a design by Joachim Kunsch. The firm, founded in 1880, made three-wheeled invalid carriages, and from 1948 it built three-wheelers using Simson components in East Germany. Among its products was the Piccolo Trumpf, built in three series between 1955 and 1975, roughly 10,000 cars in all.
The Krausemobil, a three-wheeled microcar, is probably a one-off. Its power unit was a Simson Schwalbe engine, and it had a top speed of 60 km/h. The Krause company was nationalised in 1972.
