AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Special historical automobilia – Germany, 1932
Historical ADAC commemorative plaque on the occasion of the opening of the Kraftwagenstraße Köln–Bonn on 6 and 7 August 1932. This special plaque recalls an important milestone in German traffic history: the commissioning of the road between Cologne and Bonn, the current A555, which is regarded as the first German autobahn specifically designed for motorized traffic and free of level crossings.
Description
The front bears the inscription:
“ADAC ERÖFFNUNG DER KRAFTWAGENSTRASSE KÖLN-BONN 6/7 AUGUST 1932”
The plaque features a distinctive historic design with several heraldic and geographic elements:
The coat of arms of the city of Cologne at the top.
The coat of arms of the Rhine Province with the red lion at the bottom.
In the center a stylized representation of the connecting road between Cologne and Bonn.
The plaque is associated with the German medalist and coin producer Adam Donner from Wuppertal-Elberfeld.
Historical background
The Kraftwagenstraße Köln–Bonn was opened in 1932 and represents an important chapter in the development of the German road network. At the opening, Konrad Adenauer, then mayor of Cologne, played an important role. The plaque thus makes an interesting collectible object for enthusiasts of historic automobilia, ADAC memorabilia, German traffic history, and pre-war medals and plaques.
