* March 29, 1891 (Nový Jičín) - † August 21, 1980 (Aldingen)

At Ignác Šustala's carriage factory in Nesselsdorf (now Kopřivnice), where his father supplied carpentry products, little Alfred Neubauer gained new knowledge about moving machines. In 1897, the production of carriages, coaches, and freight wagons at Šustala's factory was supplemented by a new product. That year, the first passenger car in Central Europe, the "Präsident," rolled out of the factory gates, followed a year later by the first truck. Their production and driving characteristics fascinated the young Neubauer. He himself spent a lot of time observing the production of automobile structures, which were known in the 20th century under the TATRA brand.

Alfred Neubauer also had his first contact with automobiles at the Hückl family. The Hückl family from Nový Jičín, who owned the largest hat factory in Central Europe at the end of the 19th century, had several cars in their fleet. The Hückl family's garages housed not only two dampfwagen steam cars, but also the oldest Daimler car.

He also met Ferdinand Porsche, with whom he soon became friends for life. After World War I, he joined the Austrian company Austro-Daimler and later, together with Porsche, became part of the Daimler-Benz team in Germany, where he participated in several important races. He later made a name for himself as a manager.
