A Brief History of the Marque
Manufactured by Industry Werke Ludwigsfelde, Ludwigsfeldes Kreis Zossen, DDR. 1954-1965
IWL was established on just south of Berlin in 1936 by the Daimler-Benz company as an aircraft engine factory. The works were severely damaged by allied bombing during the Second World War and, as part of German reparations to the USSR, the Soviets removed anything of use from the remnants of the factory during the late 40's. By 1950 IWL consisted of 11 empty assembly halls and office space.
The East German government took charge of the site and began to revive the factory. After six months reconstruction the IWL factory began to function again, first producing machine tools and agricultural machinery, later building Soviet aircraft engines under license.
Scooter development began in 1953 and entered production in 1954.
Models include Pitty, Wiesel, Berlin and Troll 1. Also available was a trailer, the Campi.
The Wiesel was followed in 1959 by the Berlin SR 59, a 125cc with 4 speed gearbox. By the end of that year the factory had produced 30,000 scooters.
The Troll name was also used by VMO.

IWL Berlin
What years were the Berlin manufactured? I recently purchased
one and the German paperwork that came with it says it was first registered
in September of 1957. Thanks, Jim
