The history of the car remains a mystery. During the war, the Allied bombers destroyed the Voll & Ruhrbeck [de] plant, and along with it the Horch 853 documentation. The car was captured by the French government and fell into the hands of French army Marshal Jean de Lattre de Tassigny. In the post-war period, the car was moved to Switzerland, after which it changed owners multiple times and was restored.
