Background

The NSU Prinz is an automobile which was produced from 1958 to 1973 in West Germany by the NSU Motorenwerke AG which in the mid 1950s had been the biggest motorcycle producer in the world. The production of German motorcycles declined sharply as customers needed weather protection for daily driving, with demand shifting first towards microcars and then towards affordable cars.
