Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach was found in Eisenach in 1896 as a stock company. It produced bicycles and guns. In November 1928 BMW acquired the Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach. After the war, Thuringia was part of the Soviet sector, and the factory became a Soviet Stock company. Production restarted with the BMW 321, of which almost 4,000 were made between late 1945 and 1950. As long as the Soviets owned the company, BMW in Munich could not bring legal proceedings to protect its tradename. In 1952 the works were transferred to ownership by the East German government and renamed EMW or Eisenacher Motorenwerk. The year later it received its final name VEB Automobilwerk Eisenach (AWE).
