Colibri (Germany) - AllCarIndex

Colibri was a German automobile brand that operated from 1908 to 1911, under the ownership of Notddcutschc Automobilwcrke GmbH, based in Hamelin, Germany. The brand was notable for its early production of small cars, which catered to the burgeoning automotive market of the early 20th century.

The first model produced by Colibri featured an 860cc two-cylinder engine, which marked the brand's entry into the automotive industry. In 1910, the company expanded its lineup with a more powerful 1360cc monobloc four-cylinder model. The following year, Colibri introduced the SPERBER, a slightly larger vehicle that continued to build on the brand's reputation for compact cars.

Colibri vehicles were sometimes marketed under the initials of their manufacturer, NAW. The town of Hamelin, where the company was headquartered, gained historical fame through the tale of "The Pied Piper of Hamelin," which added a cultural backdrop to the brand's identity during its brief existence.
