Model history
The Wartburg 311, built from 1956 to 1965 by VEB Automobilwerk Eisenach, was a versatile GDR vehicle, available as a saloon, estate, coupé, luxury version and two-seater roadster. Its two-stroke engine was enlarged to 992 cm³ in 1962. Between 1965 and 1967, the transitional model 312 followed, which already used the chassis of the later Wartburg 353, and heralded the change to more modern designs. The 311 had a lasting impact on the automotive history of the GDR.

Comments of this past auction
Technik: Als ehemaliger Produktionsstandort von BMW-Pkw wurde im Automobilwerk Eisenach nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zunächst die Produktion größerer Pkw mit Sechszylinder-Viertaktmotor fortgesetzt. Die Staatsführung der DDR entschied 1953, die Produktion des deutlich kleineren IFA F 9 mit Dreizylinder-Zweitaktmotor von Zwickau nach Eisenach zu verlegen und somit die Herstellung der bisher in Eisenach gefertigten EMW-Typen zu beenden. Die Bezeichnung 311 steht ebenso wie die folgenden (313, 312, 353 und Prototypen) in BMW-Tradition – alle in Eisenach hergestellten BMWs und EMWs hatten dreistellige Nummern, die sämtlich mit einer „3“ begannen; der F 9 wurde in Eisenach als „EMW 309“ geführt. Auch der Wartburg hieß intern bis 1955 EMW 311. Als Handelsnamen wählte man den Namen des ersten 1898 produzierten Motorwagens der Eisenacher Fahrzeugwerke, letztlich in Anlehnung an die in Eisenach befindliche Wartburg. LG Tom
