In "year one," back in the sixties, AMG was still a very homespun kind of outfit. Its name, of course, comes from Hans Werner Aufrecht (A) and Erhard Melcher (M) who founded the company at the Old Mill in Burgstall near Grossaspach (G), the birthplace of Hans Werner Aufrecht. They originally named "Engineering office for the Design and Testing of Racing Engines." Later, the name was shortened to simply “AMG.“
