Seventy- five years of the Unimog were celebrated last weekend in Gaggenau, Germany.

A convoy of 75 Unimog vehicles weaved its way from the production plant in Wörth am Rhein via Karlsruhe and along the country roads to the Unimog’s hometown of Gaggenau in the Murg Valley.

The initial birthplace of the “universally applicable motorised device” as the Unimog was originally known was in Schwäbisch Gmünd, where the first prototype underwent testing on fields and up hills as early as 1946.

Gaggenau is now home to the Unimog Museum, where everything revolves around the Unimog. On the museum’s grounds, visitors were able to take a look at the 75 vehicles which formed the Unimog convoy, while technology aficionados enjoyed the various presentations that were also made.
