We visited Micha again in his private GDR museum and today we talked in more detail about the subject of Simson. Micha tells us about his first Simson S50, which he got for his youth consecration. It was stolen from him a short time later. The same thing happened to him with his ETZ 250 MZ.
This time we were also able to take a look into his basement and saw which projects are still pending for the future. According to his own statements, he still has work to do for years to come.
Simson is the name of a former weapon and vehicle manufacturer, throughout history the name has been renamed and restructured several times.
As early as 1856, the two Jewish brothers, Löb and Moses, founded the Simson company in the Thuringian town of Suhl.
Simson achieved today's brand awareness through the two-wheelers produced in large numbers in the GDR.
With a total of almost 6 million mopeds manufactured, Simson was the largest manufacturer of motorized two-wheelers in Germany.
Many people, especially from the former GDR, have their own story about their two-wheeler.
