Andreas Werner is the Founder and Designer of Herrenfahrt, a premium car care brand, and a group of products. Born in the Black Forrest in Southern Germany, Andreas discovered his passion for classic cars and captured that enthusiasm in creating a specialty line of car care. What began as a wax formula quickly grew into a complete line of products that focus on outstanding functionality, understated excellence, and exclusive design. All this was created around the name Herrenfahrt, a German word used to describe “Men’s Drivers”, car owners who managed and cared for their own cars, many of which were race car drivers, amateur athletes, and enthusiasts. You can find Herrenfahrt at Esoteric Car Care in Ohio, and that’s where I met Andreas at their open house event earlier this year.
