In 1956, young engineer Erwin Hymer began working in his father's repair shop in the southern German town of Bad Waldsee. Just one year later, he developed his first caravan in collaboration with engineer Erich Bachem – the original “Eriba Troll”. The 1960s saw the introduction of the classic Puck, Faun, Pan, Familia, Triton and Titan models. ERIBA and HYMER merged in 1980 and formed ERIBA-HYMER GmbH, known today as the Erwin Hymer Group.
