In 1884 Otto developed ignition with a low voltage magnet. In 1876 Nicolaus August Otto completed the "four stroke" internal combustion engine, for all types of fuel the use of engines began to spread worldwide, starting from Cologne. In 1872 the factory was expanded and the joint-stock company Gasmotoren-Fabrik Deutz AG (GFD) was founded. Langen won a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle of Paris, for the most economical powered machine for light industry. In 1867 the "atmospheric gas engine" developed by N.A. in Cologne, the first engine factory in the world, which became Klockner-Humboldt-Deutz AG in 1938.
