About Lucien Rosengart
- Lucien Rosengart (11 January 1881 in Paris, France – 27 July 1976) was a French engineer. His early life was shaped by carriages and the advance of the automobile age.
- He first started working as a mechanic at the age of 12, and by age 24 he had a machine shop in Belleville and several patents to his credit.
- By 1914 his products included railway parts, bicycle parts, and a rocket that allowed artillery shells to be exploded while airborne.
- This attracted the attention of the French Government and they set him up with two factories, one in Paris and one in Saint-Brieuc - at this point he began working with Andre Citroën's company, which provided the shells.
- By the end of the first world war, he'd become a skilled businessman and helped both Peugeot and Citroën stave off bankruptcy.
- Involvement with these companies led Rosengart to think of building his own car.
- He was already making bicycles.
