Trabant
Brand
The Trabant, also known as Trabbi or Trabi, is an automobile produced from 1957 to 1990 by former East German car manufacturer VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau. Produced without major changes for nearly 30 years, the Trabant became the most common automobile in East Germany. It came to symbolize the country during the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, as images of East Germans crossing the border into West Germany were broadcast around the globe. The car's name was inspired by the Soviet Sputnik satellite. The German word "trabant" means "satellite" or "companion."
