Ferdinant Anderheggen (20 April 1866 – 30 August 1931) was a
Dutch automobile constructor from
Roermond who produced a number of models under the
Anderheggen
The Anderheggen was a Dutch automobile; the short-lived light 4 hp four-seater '' vis-à-vis'', powered by a water-cooled Abeille engine, was manufactured in Amsterdam from 1899 to 1902. Its transmission was a flat belt from the engine to a syst ...
brand.
Before trying his luck in the new automobile industry, Anderheggen was active as a competitive cyclist.
In 1899 he successfully constructed an automobile, soon followed by a second model. The construction of automobiles went so well that Anderheggen negotiated with a French
automobile manufacturer for the manufacturing of his creations. Eventually this failed and instead in 1901 he joined forces with machine factory P. Konings, that helped him manufacture a third car.
