Schreier History
1924
company foundation
Mechanical engineer Johann Schreier and his wife Anna Schreier open a mechanical workshop in Kreuzstreet in Ludwigshafen am Rhein: sale and repair of bicycles, motorcycles, sewing machines and gramophones. The first problem solution was quickly developed – the three-wheel delivery van with pedal drive, e.g. for the bakers in Ludwigshafen.
Already in 1933 the workshop had to be expanded. In doing so, the move to the Hagellochstreet, former Blumenstreet, takes place. Meanwhile the company already employs 5 people.
