I live in Cologne and I have been in the old factory often. About half of rhe facility is getting restored and Used in different ways, and about half, sadly got demolished in the past 5 years. Did you know, that the first gas, and the 2 stroke engine was also invented in the same facility? I am really fascinated with the industrial history of my city, and I'm really happy that also people in the US are interested in the History of such an influencial company
Very cool that you live there and are able to enjoy the history first hand. I would love to travel there someday and see it all for myself. Hopefully at that point some of it is still left.
There is a museum of the company in cologne. There theiy show the very first Gas Motor, the "Otto" Motor. Today the Company is called just "deuz" and they mainly produce Maritime Diesel Engines.
So, this is a very comprehensive account of the evolution of Deutz tractors but I was hoping to hear how the name 'Deutz' came to be! What is the meaning of the word?
It's a name, an old aristocratic Prussian family. There is also a German city named Deutz, which is based on an old High German word "Diot" meaning "people" or "folk". But, the "Deutz" in Klöckner Humboldt Deutz comes from the business of Nikolaus August Otto, Deutz AG, which was named after the Deutz district of Cologne in Germany, where the company was established.
I'm having a hard time watching this video. I really was curious about the history of Deutz, but the circular narrative and the lack of cohesion to the the video by that narrative make it hard to gain any real understanding. The tractors being shown are not identified, not do they seem to be of the era being discussed. Outdoor Wisconsin you have a good subject here, but the execution is lacking.
Can't wait for part 2. This was very interesting.
I'm working on it. Would like to get it up in a week or two.
My family used old Deutz tractors on their farm when i was a kid. Cool to learn more about them.
Sounds like a typical small town Midwest America background. You are all right.
I genuinely enjoy this video. Will be cool to see where you go from here.
I appreciate that!
well done. this was very easy to follow.
Glad you liked it!
I've seen these tractors around. There are a lot of really old Deutz tractors still being used. Has to be a sign that they are pretty durable.
That's true, they do seem to last a really long time. Most of the small farmers i know that are still running, are using deutz tractors.
I was surprised to see you upload again. Very cool.
Yep, the plan is to figure out a somewhat regular schedule going forward.

@@DeutzFarmer96 thank you for that information.
Quite a few of the video clips feature tractors that are definitely not Deutz.
YEET
YOTE

Sorry to hear that
