Borgward
Borgward is an automobile manufacturer originally founded by Carl F. W. Borgward (November 10, 1890 – July 28, 1963), the original company, based in Bremen in Germany, ceased operations in the 1960s. The Borgward group produced four brands of cars: Borgward, Hansa, Goliath and Lloyd.
The marque has since been revived by Carl Borgward's grandson, Christian Borgward, together with his partner Karlheinz L. Knöss, with assistance from Chinese investment, and unveiled the company's first new car in over 40 years, the BX7 at the 2015 International Motor Show.
Origins of the component companies
The origins of Bremen's most significant auto-business go back to 1905 with the establishment in nearby Varel of the "Hansa Automobilgesellschaft" and the foundation in Bremen itself of "Namag", maker of the Lloyd car. These two businesses merged in 1914 to form the "Hansa-Lloyd-Werke A.G.". After the war, in the troubled economic situation then confronting Germany, the business failed to prosper and by the late 1920s faced bankruptcy. For Carl Borgward, already the successful creator of the Goliath-Blitzkarren business, the misfortunes of Hansa-Lloyd presented an opportunity greatly to expand the scope of his auto business, and he took control of it.

Pure Greed
by: G.B.H.You've got a fast brain,
it's like a bullet train.
You've been branded,
LINE TO BE ADDED !
Your scream's like gasoline,
it burned me to the core.
You used to stand for something,
but not any more.
And when I turned to you,
in my hour of need.
I looked into your eyes,
and saw the pure greed.
Yeah when I turned to you,
on my bended knees.
I looked into your eyes,
and they shone a pure green.
Domino skyscrapers and thunder,
not just another face, just another number.

You've got a big life,
but I heard that it's broken.
Now I'm gonna' sit and laugh,
