Stoewer was a German automobile manufacturer before World War II whose headquarters were in Stettin (now Szczecin, Poland).
In 1928 the company started to build ''S8'' and ''G14'' models with eight-cylinder engines.
At the beginning of the 1930s Stoewers delivered their highlights: ''G15 Gigant'', ''M12 Marschall'' and ''P20 Repräsentant'', each with eight-cylinder engines, with 60 to 120 hp (45 to 90 kW) and maximum speed. The production of these cars had to be cancelled after 2,500 vehicles being produced due to worldwide economic troubles. In 1931 Stoewer constructed one of the first cars with front-wheel drive at all, class ''V5'' 25 hp (19 kW), maximum speed. The model named ''Greif Junior'' was built under the licence of Tatra (car), Tatra.Odin, L.C. ''World in Motion 1939, The whole of the year's automobile production''. Belvedere Publishing, 2015. ASIN: B00ZLN91ZG. Its successor ''V8 Greif'' was the last car constructed by Stoewer himself; class ''Arkona'' and ''Sedina'' were the last civilian cars produced by the company.
In 1936 the Stoewer factory developed the 'uniform light off-road car' (''le.E.Pkw'', Einheits-PKW der Wehrmacht#Leichter geländegängiger PKW, leichter geländegängiger Einheits-PKW) for the Wehrmacht, German army, a versatile four-wheel drive car, the Stoewer R200 initially (until 1940) equipped with Steering#Four-wheel steering, four-wheel steering. Due to capacity-limitations, the cars also had to be produced by Automobilwerk Eisenach, BMW-Factory Eisenach, as BMW 325, and by Hanomag in Hanover as the Type 20B. Together the three manufacturers made a total of ca. 13,000 units.
Stoewer was one of many German companies that exploited slave labour during World War II and had its own camp for prisoners.Pomorze Zachodnie na przełomie dwu epok, 1944-1946 Kazimierz Golczewski Wydawn. Poznańskie,page 29, 1964
After World War II, the Red Army seized the remaining production facilities, dismantled the factory and sent the equipment to the Soviet Union. The company subsequently ceased to exist.

Stoewer was a German automobile manufacturer before World War II whose headquarters were in Stettin (now Szczecin, Poland).
History
The first company was founded by the Stoewer brothers, Emil (lived 1873 – 1942) and Bernhard (1875 – 1937) in 1896 for manufacturing sewing machines in Stettin. In 1899, the Stoewer brothers founded the firm ''Gebrüder Stoewer, Fabrik für Motorfahrzeugen'' and started to produce automobiles. Their first automobile was the Großer Stoewer Motorwagen, with 6.5 hp (4.8 kW) and maximum speed. In 1908 Stoewers constructed the ''Stoewer G4''. This model was successful for them at the time – 1070 cars were built. In 1910, Stoewer cars were built under licence by Mathis (cars), Mathis of Strassburg. In 1916, the family-owned company was transformed into a limited company under the name of ''Stoewer-Werke AG, vormals Gebrüder Stoewer''. In the mid-20s a new class of cars was introduced: the ''D-Types'' included ''D3'', ''D9'' and ''D10'' with four-cylinder engines, as well as ''D5'', ''D6'' and ''D12'' with six cylinders. Something special was the 1921 ''D7'' with a proprietary six-cylinder aero engine with . Of the fifty "D10" made, the only survivor was in Melbourne, Australia in original condition. It was on display at the 2014 MotorClassica. It is now in Germany.
In 1928 the company started to build ''S8'' and ''G14'' models with eight-cylinder engines.
