history
Josef Dechentreiter founded an agricultural machinery factory in Asbach-Bäumenheim in 1922 on the basis of a contract threshing business. Mainly threshing machines and later combine harvesters were manufactured there. The company was best known in the mid-1960s for its loading wagons . With the participation of the Lely company in 1963 and renaming to Lely-Dechentreiter Maschinenfabrik GmbH , the construction of caravans began. In August 1970 the company unexpectedly went bankrupt.
The company was taken over by the tractor manufacturer Fendt . The production of the caravans continued under this name. In the meantime, mobile homes were also produced. Shortly after the Fendt company was sold to the AGCO Corporation in 1997, the caravan area was separated and sold to Hobby Wohnwagenwerk Harald Striewski GmbH . Production has now been relocated to a newly built plant in Mertingen .
In addition to caravans, mobile homes have also been manufactured again for some years. However, these are produced by the Hobby parent company in Rendsburg .
