What Happened To The Walther Factory At The End Of War!
 

There is a couple of articles on this - One of the moderators (Ron) had his father or grandfather who went through the area and he has a really good write up on it

Ed, can we find the write-up?? Its would be useful!! Tks Did any other luger factories survive?

In the 1980's I was in Germany and went to Oberndorf am Neckar to see the Mauser factory. We could not see much but went to the office and found out it was the office of Heckler and Koch. The office was not locked so we went in to inquire, but found no one there. We then found the Mauser museum across town. It was very small. So apparently H & K ended up at the old Mauser facility at some point.

Heckler & Koch does own one of the former Mauser buildings, the so-called outer works, but Mauser and the now defunct Mauser Messzeug were still in the old premesis. The military branch of Mauser is still on the same site, under Rheinmetall.

The original cloister was sold back to the town and now houses the police, mayor's office and a concert venue.

The upper works were sold to the town in the 1960s and made way for a school.

Currently, the museum is located in the former Schwedenbau.

Heckler & Koch are located at the top of the hill in a large new building.

In the 1970s and 80s, most of the pistol assembly work took place in a nearby town, Schramberg-Sulgen.

Thanks for that breakdown Vlim. I now recall the Schwedenbau is where we found the museum in the '80's. I also remember seeing a 4 barrel anti aircraft gun on wheeled a mount outside one of the factory buildings. Must have been the Rheinmetall portion.
