Martin Hildebrand founded this short lived company ( 1922 - 1924 ). The Hildebrand car was built in Singen / Hohentwiel (South Germany ) near the ruins of the castle Hohentwiel. That´s why the emblem shows a kneeling knight with a sword in his hands.
Not much is known about this firm but is it likely that there was a very small production only. The specialist of car production numbers, Mr. Hans Lipp, made a research. If we trust him around 100 cars were built, so it is nearly impossible to find an emblem. It seems that not a single car survives today.

Here you see one of the very rare privat contemporary pictures of a Hildebrand car. This picture was for free as no one could identify the car. But no doubt this is a Hildebrand ( just have a close look at the radiator emblem )
