Harald Quandt (1 November 1921 – 22 September 1967) was a German industrialist, the son of Günther Quandt and Magda Behrend Rietschel. His parents divorced and his mother was later married to Joseph Goebbels. After World War II, Quandt and his older half-brother Herbert Quandt ran the industrial empire left to them by their father owning a stake mainly in Germany's luxury car manufacturer BMW and the electric battery producer VARTA which emerged from Accumulatoren-Fabrik AFA.[1] which still belongs to the family.[2]

Als Günther Quandt 1954 auf einer Ägypten-Reise starb, hinterließ er seinen beiden Söhnen aus verschiedenen Ehen, Harald und Herbert, ein ramponiertes Erbe. Sein Testament bestimmte, daß die Halbbrüder gleichberechtigt erben sollten, verpflichtete sie aber zugleich, ihre Interessen auf ewig zu poolen. Harald, der in der Öffentlichkeit als der Repräsentant des Hauses auftrat, konzentrierte sich auf Maschinenbau und Rüstungsgeschäft. Herbert, der nicht zuletzt wegen eines starken Augenleidens – er ist nahezu erblindet – schon immer Publizität mied, kümmerte sich um die Varta und später immer mehr um sein Lieblingskind BMW.{{cite web}}: Check |url= value (help)
