Barkas

Barkas is a brand of vehicles that originated in East Germany, primarily known for producing vans and minibuses from the 1950s to the 1990s. The most recognized model is the Barkas B1000, a boxy, rear-engine van used for various purposes, including transportation and delivery. Barkas vehicles were notable for their unique design and practicality, reflecting the utilitarian needs of the time. After German reunification, the brand struggled to compete with Western automakers and eventually ceased production. Today, Barkas vehicles are often appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts of vintage automobiles.
