“A car dealership, you say?” one of you might be thinking, a hint of skepticism in your voice. Gottfried Schultz, indeed, is a car dealership. But it’s not just any car dealership. It’s a legacy. Gottfried Schultz, the man, started with a humble used car business in Essen in 1924. He had a nose for good deals and a passion for automobiles, especially those from the heart of German engineering. His big break came in the 1930s when he became a dealer for Horch, a name synonymous with luxury and innovation. It was a relationship that would shape the destiny of his company. After World War II, Gottfried Schultz saw an opportunity in the fledgling Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg. He became one of the first to secure a contract to deliver the iconic Beetle to the public. Today, Gottfried Schultz stands as a testament to his vision, a sprawling network of dealerships representing some of the most prestigious brands in the world, a far cry from that one man selling used cars.
