In the 1980s, VEB Musikinstrumentenbau Markneukirchen (Musima) was an enterprise of superlative dimensions. For some years, Musima, which had about 1200 employees, was regarded as the largest manufacturer of musical instruments in Europe. Guitars, violins, cellos, recorders and numerous other products from Markneukirchen were exported to more than 70 countries worldwide. This book traces for the first time the history of the company from its founding in 1954 until its final closure in 2003. The relief pictured here is located inside the main entrance of Musima's former production plant in Markneukirchen.weiterlesen
