Steiger (automobile company)
The Steiger company was founded in 1914 as ''Maschinenfabrik (engine manufactory) Walther Steiger & Co.'' by the Swiss engineer Walther Steiger (1881–1943) in Burgrieden near Ulm, Germany. In 1921 it became a limited company (Steiger AG). During its short life the firm produced circa 3,000 vehicles.
== The beginnings ==
During the First World War the Steiger firm repaired aeroplanes and aeroplane engines. In 1917 the owner and his engineer, Paul Henze, began to work on motorized vehicles. Plans for the manufacture of tractors were abandoned in favour of the development of automobiles. Their first model, the ''Steiger 10/50 PS'', was produced in 1920. This touring model with a 2.6 litre four cylinder engine (50 hp / 37 kW) became Steiger’s most significant product, and was still in production when the firm collapsed in 1926. Its modern OHC engine was distinctive because of an overhead camshaft driven by spiral-toothed bevel gear wheels. These cars, with ‘u’ shaped pressed steel frames, two axles with leaf spring suspension and a pointed radiator, were considered to be ''the most significant technical innovation of the early 1920s''〔v. Fersen (1), loc. cit., p. 300〕 and ''the most progressive German serially-produced cars of their time''.〔Oswald, p. 358〕
