The Trabant was a compact car produced from 1957 to 1991 by VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau in East Germany. It became a symbol of East German automotive engineering, known for its affordability and distinctive design. After German reunification, the Trabant brand and its manufacturing facilities were acquired by Volkswagen AG, a leading German automotive company headquartered in Wolfsburg. This acquisition marked the end of Trabant production, with the Zwickau factory being repurposed for Volkswagen's operations. The Trabant remains a nostalgic icon, representing a unique era in automotive history.
