The Diepholzer Maschinenfabrik GmbH Fritz Schöttler shortly DIEMA , was a German machine factory based in Diepholz . The most important branch of production was locomotive construction . Small locomotives equipped with diesel engines or accumulators were specially manufactured for narrow-gauge field , peat and mine railways as well as standard-gauge shunting locomotives.

history

In the early days of Diepholzer Maschinenfabrik , founded in 1879 , mainly agricultural machines were repaired, later various small machines and drives for mills were manufactured. In 1913, the company founder handed the company over to his three sons Fritz, Christoph and Heinrich, who converted it into a general partnership. Heinrich, a trained electrical engineer, soon founded his own company. In 1924 the production of light rail locomotives began, the company name ( company ) was changed to Diepholzer Maschinenfabrik Fritz Schöttler . A decline in demand for light railways could be partially compensated for with increasing exports abroad and new branches of production, but DIEMA had to file for bankruptcy in 1993.

Due to differences of opinion, Christoph Schöttler left the family business in 1929 to found the Christoph Schöttler Maschinenfabrik GmbH (SCHÖMA) in the same place .

From 1960 to 1964 DIEMA delivered a total of 18 locomotives of the type DS 90 and 2 DS 60 to the German Navy for the narrow-gauge railways in the naval ammunition depots in Aurich and Laboe .
