Industrials

Gothaer Waggonfabrik, meaning Gotha Wagon Factory, was a German manufacturer of rolling stock established in the late nineteenth century at Gotha. During the two world wars the company expanded into aircraft building, and it produced the Gotha G.IV heavy bomber of the First World War. It operated as a subsidiary in the rail transport industry until 1997, with headquarters in Berlin, and its Gotha G.IV bomber was also built under licence by Siemens-Schuckert and by Luft-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft.
