Siemens-Schuckert
open-in-new
<p>Siemens-Schuckert (or Siemens-Schuckertwerke) was a German electrical engineering company headquartered in <a href="/facts/Berlin/pMTIRNXK">Berlin</a>, <a href="/facts/Erlangen/rsTkdwDp">Erlangen</a> and <a href="/facts/Nuremberg/Bht6TsP4">Nuremberg</a> that was incorporated into the <a href="/facts/Siemens/coa80TQn">Siemens AG</a> in 1966. </p><p>Siemens Schuckert was founded in 1903 when <a href="/facts/Siemens_%2526_Halske/lAsPJ9sk">Siemens & Halske</a> acquired Schuckertwerke. Subsequently, Siemens & Halske specialized in communications engineering and Siemens-Schuckert in power engineering and pneumatic instrumentation. During <a href="/facts/World_War_I/vITTUanQ">World War I</a> Siemens-Schuckert also produced aircraft. It took over manufacturing of the <a href="/facts/Protos_of_Nonnendamm/FRh26nfS">Protos</a> vehicles in 1908. In <a href="/facts/World_War_II/2efV5L1U">World War II</a>, the company had a factory producing aircraft and other parts at <a href="/facts/Monowitz/yGcNVErY">Monowitz</a> near <a href="/facts/Auschwitz/6o3xax0D">Auschwitz</a>. There was a workers camp near the factory known as <a href="/facts/Bobrek_concentration_camp/0z3aIhpY">Bobrek concentration camp</a>. </p><p>The Siemens Schuckert logo consisted of an S with a smaller S superimposed on the middle with the smaller S rotated left by 45 degrees. The logo was used into the late 1960s, when both companies merged with the <a href="/facts/Siemens-Reiniger-Werke_AG/mvnTd64p">Siemens-Reiniger-Werke AG</a> to form the present-day <a href="/facts/Siemens/coa80TQn">Siemens AG</a>. </p>
