Etymology

The term 'landau' originates from the German city of Landau, where the carriage design first became popular in the 18th century. Initially, it was a luxurious vehicle used by the wealthy, reflecting elegance and sophistication. The design features a folding hood that could be raised or lowered, allowing for versatility in different weather conditions. Over time, the landau became associated with formal occasions and ceremonies, such as weddings and parades. The word itself has evolved to encompass not only the vehicle but also its representation in culture and history, symbolizing a blend of craftsmanship and style.
