context_page_description: The Wanderer Puppchen was a small passenger car introduced by the Chemnitz based Wanderer automotive company in 1911. It went on sale the following year. The car was delivered as an open topped tourer with two seats positioned one behind the other. There were two doors, also one behind the other, and both on the left-hand side of the car.
context_section_description: The small car quickly became known, affectionately, as the Puppchen ('little doll'), presumably derived from a 1912 operetta by Jean Gilbert.  Nevertheless, its more conventional name was Wanderer W1 5/12 PS.   “W1” reflected the fact that it was the first volume motor car offered by the Winklhofer & Jaenicke company who in 1911 adopted the brand name Wanderer (English equivalents might be "Rambler" or "Rover") for their motor vehicles. “5” was the fiscal horsepower rating, based on the engine capacity, and “12” was the actual horsepower claimed. During the ensuing years the Puppchen progressed through the W2, W3 and W4 models to the Wanderer W8, now with an actual claimed power output of 20 PS.
  The Wanderer models W5, W6 and W7 were slightly larger cars which did not attract the Puppchen soubriquet.
