In 1932, Blaupunkt introduced Europe’s first car radio — a moment that changed how the world listened. Suddenly, music wasn’t tied to a living room; it traveled with you. By the late 1930s, the brand had joined forces with Bosch, gaining the strength to take German engineering global.
Even after the war, when production restarted in Hildesheim, the brand never lost its rhythm. Through the 1950s to 1970s, Blaupunkt led countless firsts, from FM receivers and stereo sound to traffic information systems that kept drivers connected long before “smart” was a thing.
In 1989, Blaupunkt unveiled one of the world’s first car navigation systems, bridging precision engineering with human curiosity for the road ahead. That same spirit powered our move into digital media, smart connectivity, and in-car entertainment through the decades that followed.
