Beautiful large horse-drawn Kremser carriage with many good-humoured passengers. A Kremser is a spacious spring-loaded covered wagon with longitudinal benches on both sides. This type of carriage was introduced in 1825 by the Berlin haulier Simon Kremser, who used it as a horse-drawn omnibus. His first bus line, which ran from the Brandenburg Gate to Charlottenburg, marked the beginning of public transport in Berlin.
In terms of the classification of the various horse-drawn carriages, the Kremser is something like the big brother of the wagonette.
