history
In 1942 Georg Müller founded a tire factory in Berlin-Schmöckwitz for retreading and repairing car tires . After the factory was destroyed in the Second World War , the plant was rebuilt in 1945 and, in 1947, also began producing new tires. In 1953 Müller was expropriated and subsequently settled in West Berlin . The tire factory became a state- owned company and was integrated into the Fürstenwalde tire combine . At its peak, it employed almost 1,000 people. VEB Berliner Reifenwerk was responsible for retreading tires throughout the GDR, in which every second car tire was retreaded.
After the reunification , the company was spun off in 1990 to the Berliner Reifenwerk GmbH , which initially employed 840 people. In 2000 insolvency proceedings were opened and the company was dissolved.
