Audi was technically founded way back in 1885 when the Wanderer Company was established, later becoming a branch of Audi However it remained in 1899 that August Horch established A. Horch & Cie in Cologne, after that went on to develop the August Horch & Cie. Motowagenwerke AG in 1904. http://ryan2q89knw8.bleepblogs.com/profile
