The graduate engineer Horst Ihling, born in 1932, worked at VEB Automobilwerk Eisenach and published his first self-help book for Wartburg drivers in 1970. Because the GDR's car workshops were fully booked, his guides were very successful and appeared in numerous editions. The Wartburg 353 was built in Eisenach from 1966 to 1989, as a four-door saloon until autumn 1988 and from 1968 as the "Tourist" estate, powered by a water-cooled three-cylinder two-stroke engine. The Gesellschaft für Sport und Technik, founded in 1952 as a paramilitary mass organisation of the GDR, was responsible among other things for motor sport and from 1957 for the driver training of young people.
