Albert Falke & Co. 1896-1908
Fahrrad und Automobilwerke Albert Falke & Co. was established as a bicycle factory in 1889 in Mönchengladbach. In 1896 they built a tricycle powered by a De Dion Bouton engine.
In 1899 they acquired rights to build De Dion engines, and a series of passenger and commercial vehicles were produced until 1908 when a financial downturn took its toll.
Their Voiturette was very similar to the Decauville.
