Affalterbach Crest
How many of you, actually know what the Affalterbach Crest stands for? Specifically the meaning behind the symbols in the AMG crest (laurel leafs, half apple tree, the piston valve/spring and camshaft?
Well if you don't know, the tree is an apple tree as the town of Affalterbach sits in the middle of many apple orchards...the apple tree is above a river which symbolizes the nearby Neckar River...
On the right you have a camshaft lobe and a valve & valve spring which symbolizes that they are manufacturers of engines...
The laurels is symbolic of the laurel wreath that is put around the neck of racers when they won back in that time period...
Now you know

thanks...just ordered the book '45' and always interested in the history/tradition behind cool things
searched google and can't find a hi-res image of the crest
that would look good on a black tee-shirt
any one have one?

First a time and location needs to be established. I'm thinking Fort Hunt Park near Mount Vernon. We had a gathering there a few years ago. It was a great turn out, hey you were there as I remember.

Missed that one, but was at the Boulevard (old Capital Centre) gathering in Landover a while back. That was good along with some of the get-togethers at the dealerships.
