Audi goes digital with its new special exhibition “Der fünfte Ring“

Exhibits in the new special exhibition “Der fünfte Ring”: The photo in the background shows Gertrude Eisemann – the “master of the motorcycle” – on a 2 hp NSU motorcycle. In 1905, she became the first female motorcyclist to win the Eisenach-Berlin-Eisenach long-distance race at an average speed of 42 km/h.

– In its new special exhibition “Der fünfte Ring,” the Audi museum mobile in Ingolstadt is providing a comprehensive overview of the long-established NSU brand’s history and commemorating the eventful past of Audi’s “fünften Rings“ with numerous exhibits. The new Audi Tradition app will also be launched on February 2 to coincide with the new special exhibition. It serves as a virtual tour guide for visitors to the museum and, as a digital companion, allows them to enjoy the museum experience while on the road or at home. „Der fünfte Ring“ will be on display at the Audi museum mobile from February 2 through September 24, 2022; currently, visitors must either be fully vaccinated or have recovered from a COVID-19 infection and present a negative COVID-19 test or proof that they have received a booster vaccination.

Exhibit in the new special exhibition “Der fünfte Ring” at the Audi museum mobile: The NSU 8 hp two-cylinder motorcycle was considered the strongest, fastest and most expensive german motorcycle at its time.

 

In 1932, the four companies Audi, DKW, Horch, and Wanderer merged to form Auto Union AG – and they selected the four rings as their logo. In March 1969, Auto Union GmbH, headquartered in Ingolstadt, Germany, merged with NSU Motorenwerke AG, headquartered in Neckarsulm, Germany. This resulted in the retroactive founding of the new Audi NSU Auto Union AG, headquartered in Neckarsulm, Germany, as of January 1 of the same year. This makes NSU the oldest predecessor brand in the history of today’s AUDI AG, and it is still inextricably linked with the Audi site in Neckarsulm – the three letters NSU stand for the town where the Neckar and Sulm rivers meet. NSU was founded in 1873 in Riedlingen, Germany, as a “mechanical workshop for knitting machine manufacturing.” Audi Tradition is now dedicating a new special exhibition, „Der fünfte Ring,“ to the storied brand. The exhibition features eleven automobiles, 23 motorcycles, a bicycle, and a knitting machine – which can also be seen somewhere else…
