Erwin Hymer: a pioneer for<br />
<strong>50</strong> years and his name<br />
a synonym for motorhomes.<br />

Erwin Hymer has accomplished something<br />
which few have achieved in the industrial<br />
history of Germany: his name has become<br />
a generic term for the product he developed –<br />
the motorhome.<br />
“Hymermobil” or “<strong>HYMER</strong>” stand for integrated<br />
motorhomes – no matter what their<br />
make, and not just in Germanspeaking<br />
countries.<br />
There‘s no simple recipe for this “cultural”<br />
success, but there are reasons: “You have to put<br />
the right product on the market at the right<br />
price and at the right time,” says Erwin Hymer,<br />
trying to capture this phenomenon in words.<br />
And it calls for pioneering spirit and vision<br />
geared to customer needs. So it is that<br />
Erwin Hymer‘s ideas have helped to shape the<br />
last <strong>50</strong> years‘ history of travel and camping.<br />
It all began in 1957 in his father‘s small<br />
workshop ...<br />
The engineer, inventor and businessman Erwin Hymer knows his products<br />
inside out: right from the very first Eriba model, he put his caravans and<br />
motorhomes through their paces by trying them out himself with his<br />
family. Each holiday he came up with lists of new ideas and suggestions<br />
for improvement in the interest of one paramount objective: to push<br />
holiday pleasure and comfort to new heights.
<strong>50</strong> years ago the very<br />
first Troll hit the road,<br />
blazing the trail for<br />
many generations to come.<br />
“Puck”, “Faun” and “Troll” are the names of<br />
the first caravans developed by Erwin Hymer<br />
together with his partner Erich Bachem,<br />
building on ideas derived from aircraft and<br />
vehicle construction.<br />
Nobody would have thought in those days<br />
that fifty years down the road these principles<br />
would still be going strong: most of the<br />
original models are still in the range today,<br />
continuously updated and optimised, but<br />
still featuring the optical and technical<br />
details typical of the first series.<br />
This impressively documents what a great<br />
coup the two inventors pulled off! In 1959<br />
the young company was already producing<br />
455 caravans a year – today <strong>HYMER</strong> is one of<br />
Europe's leading motorhome and caravan<br />
manufacturers!<br />
Extract from the “Motor und Fahrer” magazine, 1957:<br />
“Erich Bachem, the wellknown aircraft designer, sat down and<br />
designed three prototypes, which were developed for mass production<br />
and then manufactured the same year by the company Alfons Hymer,<br />
Bad Waldsee. This marked the birth of the ERIBA brand, which shot<br />
up through the ranks to join the frontrunners in the German caravan<br />
industry.”
From day one, we designed<br />
not “just” leisure vehicles<br />
but “Hymermobils”.<br />
Alongside caravans, Erwin Hymer turned his attention<br />
in 1960 to a new vehicle category: the “motor holiday<br />
flat” – the motorhome for extra mobility and a new<br />
dimension of travel experience.<br />
The Caravano based on the Borgward 611 was produced<br />
in 3 different models until Borgward dropped out as<br />
a partner in 1961.<br />
10 years later Erwin Hymer again broached the subject<br />
of motorhomes and started an unprecedented success<br />
story.<br />
First came the semiintegrated “Hymermobils” (the<br />
generic term is born!) and then a move which caused<br />
a furore: the production of fully integrated motorhomes<br />
incorporating the driver's cabin in the living<br />
area and a distinct front design.<br />
This concept revolutionised the industry – and<br />
changed the face of traffic.<br />
It doesn't take long until anyone travelling on European<br />
roads meets a Hymermobil.<br />
The historic milestones of<br />
the Hymermobils: the smart<br />
Borgward, the semiintegrated<br />
Hymermobil 462 with caravan<br />
body, the luxurious and legendary<br />
Hymermobil 900, and the 1979<br />
SClass with MercedesBenz<br />
chassis.
A pageant of <strong>50</strong> years<br />
of <strong>HYMER</strong> history.<br />
Over 200,000 <strong>HYMER</strong> vehicles have so far left the workshops to roam the<br />
holiday resorts of this world. That is well over 200,000 globetrotters, couples<br />
and families across several generations to whom <strong>HYMER</strong> has offered a home<br />
away from home, wherever their travels took them. How many photo albums<br />
are brimming with holiday memories, how many places have been explored<br />
and how many miles travelled? How many discoveries have been made, how<br />
often have pleasures been enjoyed and the comfort revelled in – with a dependable<br />
partner from the house of <strong>HYMER</strong>.
In <strong>50</strong> years we have often woken up with an idea for tomorrow.<br />

We've been the leisure<br />
movement for young<br />
and old for <strong>50</strong> years.<br />
There‘s no such thing as the typical caravan or<br />
motorhome enthusiast. There are adventurers,<br />
bon vivants, those seeking independence,<br />
classical campers, camping novices, families,<br />
senior citizens, gogetters, funseekers, those<br />
interested in cultural pursuits, and so on and<br />
so forth...<br />
Given the broad spectrum of requirements,<br />
<strong>HYMER</strong> has always attached importance to<br />
offering a large variety of models and a wide<br />
choice of layouts. This means that the standard<br />
solutions are almost tailormade and there is<br />
a home on wheels for everyone which fits like<br />
a glove. To ensure that each vehicle layout<br />
and each mechanism is perfectly attuned to<br />
the user, extensive tests are carried out in all<br />
the development stages. One example of this<br />
is the “best ager” simulation in which the<br />
vehicles are tested by designers wearing suits<br />
simulating the mobility spectrum of a “best<br />
ager” and vehicle comfort is optimised on<br />
the basis of the new findings.<br />
So at <strong>HYMER</strong> you won‘t have to search for<br />
the vehicle which suits you down to the<br />
ground. You're sure to find it.<br />
Highly practical motorhomes of sophisticated design are the fruit of thorough development work –<br />
as the pictures of the luxury Hymer SClass show.
We‘ve set a lot of things<br />
into motion in <strong>50</strong> years:<br />
especially families.<br />
Camping holidays are a highlight<br />
for all children.<br />
They‘re in seventh heaven<br />
in the <strong>HYMER</strong> caravan or<br />
motor home, thanks to the<br />
familyfriendly layouts,<br />
the great bunk beds and<br />
the feeling of being at home<br />
wherever they may be.
What do all strong brands have in<br />
common? They think outside the box<br />
and offer the customer extra performance<br />
and extra services.<br />
That‘s exactly what <strong>HYMER</strong> does.<br />
Erwin Hymer introduced customer<br />
meetings and customer travel serv ices<br />
almost right from the word go.<br />
Since 1993 the <strong>HYMER</strong>Card has pro<br />
vided a comprehensive travel support<br />
service for its holders, which meanwhile<br />
number over 30,000.<br />
Contingency package with mobility<br />
guarantee, financing and leasing<br />
service, <strong>HYMER</strong>CardVISA, guided<br />
<strong>HYMER</strong>Card tours, ferry service,<br />
savings at selected <strong>HYMER</strong> camping<br />
partners all this has been put together<br />
with one aim: when you're<br />
on holiday you should focus on one<br />
thing – on recreation.<br />
For <strong>50</strong> years<br />
we‘ve been offering you<br />
more than holidays.
For <strong>50</strong> years something over<br />
and beyond good test results has<br />
been our interest: your safety.<br />
<strong>HYMER</strong> has put practices in place for its motorhomes which so far have been standard only<br />
in the car industry. Sophisticated crash tests and driving safety tests are carried out to<br />
ensure <strong>HYMER</strong> customers maximum safety.
For <strong>50</strong> years<br />
we have gone<br />
in for quality.<br />
What use is the best innovation, which delights today but<br />
stops working tomorrow? That‘s why <strong>HYMER</strong> has always<br />
been committed to long vehicle life. With virtues typical of<br />
the Swabian origins: thoroughness, precision and solidity.<br />
And with a passion for pushing the frontiers of quality,<br />
meaning a <strong>HYMER</strong> accompanies you on holiday not only<br />
today, but through the decades to come.<br />
A couple of reasons why <strong>HYMER</strong> leads the field in terms of quality:<br />
PUAL construction method<br />
Bonding technology<br />
In the case of motorhomes<br />
the thermal<br />
insulation of a<br />
<strong>HYMER</strong>PUAL wall<br />
is equivalent to a<br />
solid brick wall about<br />
80 cm thick.<br />
In the case of caravans<br />
a solid brick wall about<br />
68 cm thick.<br />
All <strong>HYMER</strong> body shells are based on the patented <strong>HYMER</strong>PUAL technology.<br />
The PUAL system ensures extremely good insulation, against<br />
both heat in the summer and cold in the winter, in all <strong>HYMER</strong> vehicles.<br />
In addition, the construction is absolutely impervious to water and rotproof.<br />
PUAL body components are cast in one piece and are therefore<br />
extremely tough and resistant. The outer skin made of stoveenamelled<br />
aluminium is UVresistant and easy to clean thanks to the high gloss<br />
finish.<br />
Stoveenamelled aluminium<br />
PU foam<br />
Highquality plywood lining<br />
Plastic edge profile<br />
Copolymer adhesive<br />
As the first manufacturer in the industry, <strong>HYMER</strong> grants a sixyear<br />
ingress warranty for the body and has done so for almost 20 years.<br />
One reason why the vehicles are so impervious is the <strong>HYMER</strong> bonding<br />
technology. The entire body shell, including the floor, is adhesively<br />
bonded to the chassis. The bonding technology has a further, highly<br />
beneficial effect: since the forces acting on the interior fittings are<br />
diminished, the driving noise is minimised.
For <strong>50</strong> years form has followed<br />
function at <strong>HYMER</strong>. Flanked by<br />
a feeling for aesthetic details.<br />
Good design strives to enhance the manageability of given<br />
objects. In the design process our designers analyse the<br />
interests of the customer to be served by the design.<br />
The issues they tackle are quite practical ones, such as<br />
making the best use of storage space or planning the ideal<br />
arrangement of the kitchen. They also devote themselves,<br />
however, to elegant forms and colours, and the mix and<br />
match of materials.<br />
The array of prizes won by <strong>HYMER</strong> vehicles is testament to<br />
our designers‘ expertise.<br />
Prizes from specialist juries. And awards from our customers.<br />
For instance, the BClass was chosen as the “Motorhome of<br />
the Year” for the 20th time in succession, in 2004 the<br />
TClass GT won the “Golden Steering Wheel” award conferred<br />
by the German newspaper “Bild am Sonntag” and in 2006<br />
the BClass won this prize in the wellknown public poll.<br />
Erwin Hymer at<br />
the 2006 “Golden<br />
Steering Wheel”<br />
award ceremony.<br />
A selection of the prizes bestowed on <strong>HYMER</strong>:<br />
2000: HymerNova chosen as the most practical caravan in the<br />
Netherlands • 2001: Hymermobil S 6<strong>50</strong> elected “Motorhome<br />
of the Year” • 2004: Caravaning Design Award for Hymer-Nova<br />
• T-Class GT won “Golden Steering Wheel” award • 2005: Hymer Van<br />
took second place in the “Golden Steering Wheel” awards • iF Product<br />
Design Award for Hymer Van • 2006: red dot design award for the<br />
Hymer-Feeling • Nomination for the Design Prize of the Federal<br />
Republic of Germany for Hymer Van and Hymer-Feeling • “Golden<br />
Steering Wheel” for Hymer B-Class • The Hymermobil B-Class voted<br />
“Motorhome of the Year” for the 20th time in succession by the readers<br />
of the “Promobil” magazine.
For <strong>50</strong> years we've been masters<br />
of our trade. With state-of-the-<br />
art production technology.<br />
Erwin Hymer planned for production of his products on a<br />
grand scale from the very first model. He produced parts<br />
lists, templates, jigs and fixtures enabling him to start series<br />
production right from the outset. In the expansion of his<br />
works, which are permanently extended, enlarged and modernised,<br />
Erwin Hymer has proved also to be a talented master<br />
builder and architect.<br />
Up to the present. In the jubilee year 2007 a new assembly<br />
hall goes into operation in Bad Waldsee. On an area of over<br />
24,000 m 2 <strong>HYMER</strong> vehicles will be produced on four assembly<br />
lines using stateoftheart production technology – like in<br />
the car industry. All customers can see for themselves on a<br />
factory tour that <strong>HYMER</strong> plays a pioneering role in the<br />
industry.
Showcasing <strong>50</strong> years of expertise.<br />
And a package of golden extras.<br />
Our Gold Edition jubilee vehicles embody a wealth of knowhow<br />
gleaned from <strong>50</strong> years of manufacturing caravans and<br />
motorhomes. Plus that little bit extra – because there’s someone<br />
special we want to give a present to on our birthday:<br />
our customers.<br />
That’s why the Hymermobil B 514 SL and HymerNova 465<br />
have been brought out in a limited edition featuring a galaxy<br />
of technical innovations and exclusive furnishings and fittings.<br />
You’ll soon be off on your travels and celebrate the golden<br />
times.
