In Baden-Baden: The Hidden Motor City, Roland Seiter unveils the fascinating and largely untold story of one of the world's earliest automotive pioneer cities. This newly released coffee table book invites readers to dive into the captivating world of Baden-Baden’s extraordinary automotive history.

In 1887, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach showcased their vehicles in Baden-Baden. The book captures the spirit of those groundbreaking days of the automobile, introducing us to both celebrated and lesser-known pioneers, from Carl Benz to Joseph Vollmer.

One of the earliest car races, referred to as a "social drive" at the time, concluded in this spa town in 1903. This marked the beginning of Baden-Baden’s motorsport legacy, later continued by the International Automobile Tournament and events like the legendary "2000 Kilometers Through Germany".

In Baden-Baden: The Hidden Motor City, readers experience the thrill of iconic racers like the unforgettable Rudolf Caracciola and Ernes Merck, the only woman to compete professionally in the 1920s.

Along the racecourse sidelines, high society is abuzz: aristocrats, royals, and film stars cheer them on. Here, we encounter figures such as Josephine Baker, Henry Ford, and Max Schmeling.

The book is a treasure trove of exclusive, vibrant photographs and offers a wealth of exciting content – automotive history, motorsport milestones, local flair and lifestyle, and cultural history spanning from the late 19th century to today.

224 pages and 200 color and b/w photographs. Text in English.
