La Auto Union AG è stato un gruppo industriale automobilistico, nato dall'unione delle quattro case automobilistiche tedesche DKW, Audi, Horch e Wanderer. Tale gruppo fu fondato nel 1932 a Chemnitz, Sassonia per fare fronte alla Grande depressione. Lo stemma della casa era una figura costituita da quattro cerchi interconnessi allineati orizzontalmente stanti a significare l'unione delle quattro case, anche se in realtà Audi era già stata acquisita da DKW nel 1928.
