Landmaschinen von Hanomag - Die Schlepper aus Hannover von 1912 bis 1971
This book explores the history of Hanomag's agricultural machinery and its contribution to the mechanisation of farming in Germany. It traces the development of agricultural technology from the era of steam-powered ploughing in the late nineteenth century to the widespread adoption of internal combustion engine-powered machinery, including motor ploughs and tractors.
Founded in 1871 in Linden near Hanover, Hanomag recognised the growing demand for versatile agricultural vehicles and entered the sector with motor ploughs in 1912, followed by wheeled tractors in 1924.
Over nearly 60 years, the company produced more than 350.000 agricultural machines and became one of Germany's leading manufacturers of tractors and farming equipment.
The book also examines the innovations, engineering achievements and business decisions that shaped the company's development and eventual decline in the agricultural machinery market.
This updated edition contains numerous photographs, historical brochures, technical data, documents and illustrations. Across eight chapters with around 30 contributions, plus a comprehensive technical appendix, it presents the history of Hanomag's agricultural machinery, its manufacturing processes and the people behind its success.
Each chapter also includes summaries in English, making this a valuable reference for readers interested in agricultural machinery, industrial history and German engineering.
