History
Ett av Tysklands första mc-företag som grundades 1902, flera motorcyklar importerades tidigt till Sverige. Wanderer var särskilt under 1920-talet mycket framgångsrika på tävlingsbanorna. K500 byggdes mellan 1927 och 1929 och var designad av Alexander Novikoff. Tillverkningen i Tyskland lades praktiskt taget ner 1929 då den fortsatte i Prag som Jawa. Denna har fått en ny framlykta från en sen 1930-talsbil och blivit omlackerad i rött. Inköptes 1970 för 100 kronor till museet.
