Former East-German bus manufacturer ?

sichel

Yes, but it changed it's name after 1990.

L only found a Robur truck from 1991. But I can't find the new names of the East-German buses after 1990.

sichel

Yes, the post-reunification period was very turbulent. Various West German vehicle manufacturers attempted to combine the technology and craftsmanship of both sides. In this case, the base was somewhat more solid than the Robur. The project had something of the motto 'from swords to ploughshares'...

"Schwerter zu Pflugscharen" I just found a link to a VW Typ 28 of the Reichspost. But I'm still looking for a bus.

Until 1989, the company in question was active in vehicle repair and construction for military technology. I do not know to what extent passenger transport vehicles were already an issue at that time. However, from 1990 onwards, the company became involved in this branch of production.
