After World War I and the subdivision of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the administration, (headquartered in Vienna) and factory (located in Nesselsdorf (Koprivnice), Czechoslovakia), of the Nesselsdorf, later Tatra, company, were divided by a new frontier and border.
The newly founded company Austro-Tatra started to assemble original Tatra cars in their works at Simmering, near Vienna, and after 1934, built the Tatra 57 under license.
In 1948/49, Austro-Tatra built a handful of bodies for Porsche's new 356 that were at the time produced in the Austrian village of Gmünd in Carinthia.
[1] Between January 1950 and March 1951, Karosserie Austro-Tatra[2] built 203 four-door cabriolets on the Type 1 platform, with fixed folding top, known as Gendarmiers, for police and fire under VW's Type 18A identifier.
