Landmaschinen und Traktoren der DDR 1945-1990
In the first post-war years, agriculture in East Germany quickly needed new tools. Tractor production in the Soviet Occupation Zone, which was called the German Democratic Republic from October 1949, started under extremely difficult conditions.
As early as 1951, a process of concentration in the agricultural machinery industry began with the formation of the Fortschritt Neustadt/Sachsen combine.
Of the once numerous tractor manufacturers, only the Schönebeck tractor factory remained. Over the years, a surprisingly diverse range of agricultural machinery and tractors from GDR production was created, as Frank Rönicke recalls in this opulent volume.
