Бернд Ройтерс оформлял рекламу и проспекты для таких производителей автомобилей как Adler, Opel, Hansa, Ford, Röhr, Auto Union, Graham Paige и Lincoln. Перед 2-ой мировой войной он считался самым значительным немецким специалистом в автомобильной рекламе.

В 1950 VW принимает на работу Бернда Ройтерса как внештатного сотрудника. Все последующие годы он работал с отделением дизайна VW, участвовал также в оформлении выставочных стендов - вплоть до своей внезапной смерти в 1958 году.


Bernd Reuters - VW brochure illustrator from 1950s. Extremely stylized, he emphasized the round forms of the cars and drew the passengers slightly smaller than correct scale to give the Volkswagen a larger and smoother look.

He was also responsible for selecting body and interior colours for the Volkswagens. Bernd Reuters did not just work for Volkswagen but for most German car manufacturers.

6 July 1958 (at the age of 56), he suddenly died of a heart disorder.
