Thanks Ian.
Eisenach has had a storied past. First occupied by the Americans. Then handed over to the Russians. Then the Russian’s handed it over to the GDR (German democratic Republic, aka DDR East Germany. That was when BMW got the East Germans to change the name to EMW, instead of using BMW logo and name. BMW could not do this while the Russians were the legal owners. It is all so interesting.
The Russians had a plan to steal a lot of the German technology during the last days of WWII. They took heavy presses and designs. To this day I think the Russians still produce their version of the K35 (?) WWII motorcycle.
Yes… those B&W front gate shots are a glimpse back in time. Its funny how the main building has not changed much. Typical German.
Dackel.
PS: In a day or two... I have another GREAT small car mseum to show you guys!
