They’ve been trying to destroy us for 50 days, but the UA people are heroically resisting. We fear nothing, we know what we’re fighting for. We are brave enough to put an end to evil. Stop feeding the RU military machine. Help UA with weapons. Then peace & good will win faster. pic.twitter.com/WdDbZsvZ4e

A Brief History of the Marque
Manufacturer: Martin Böhme, Berlin W 50 Neue Ansbacher Str. 7
1925-1930
Founded by Dr. Martin Böhme, the machines were relatively sophisticated for the day, being fitted with pressurised water-cooled (Thermosiphon-Wasserköhlung) engines, drum brakes front and rear, and a twin-downtube frame. Early examples were built by Gehre-Dampfmesser GmbH Berlin, who manufactured among other things steam engine components.
The firm also built commercial three-wheelers named "Lastenrenner" from 1925 to 1928.
These were presented at the Berlin Motor Show in 1925 and were powered by a water-cooled Böhme horizontal two-stroke engine. Later models had 3.5 HP air-cooled and 4.5 HP water-cooled engines with 3-speed gearbox and kick starter. Payload was in the order of 250kg.
The Bohme firm vanished during the onset of the depression.
