MZ
MZ owners and riders are a special band of motorcyclists; certainly on a par with those of any other marque. MZ's reputation has been built-up upon "value for money" for the road rider and success in motorcycle sport; notably road racing and long distance trials.
The magic of MZ was largely due to the involvement of Dipl. Ing. Walter Kaaden, who sadly passed away in 1996, aged 76 years. To Kaaden must go the title of the world's greatest ever 2-stroke engineer. Of course, before MZ came DKW, an equally famous name, and really this book is the story of both these two great marques from Zschopau in Southern Saxony. The book also covers Simson and the new era with the Skorpion.

Die einst größte Motorradfabrik der Welt, das DKW-Werk in Zschopau, wurde 1945 von den Sowjets vollständig demontiert. Trotzdem begann dort 1950 die Produktion der legendären RT 125 unter dem Markennamen IFA. Mit dem Serienstart der neuen Modelle ES 250 und ES 175 hatte sich die Motorradschmiede MZ von ihrer Vorgängerin freigeschwommen und erfreute sich bis zur Wende 1990 steigender Produktionszahlen.
Frank Rönicke dokumentiert in diesem Buch die Geschichte der großen ostdeutschen Marke und beschreibt alle wichtigen Modelle und Reihen ab 1955 sowie deren Einsatz im Straßenrennsport.
