Historical Background:
Founded in 1948, the IFA was the backbone of the GDR’s automotive industry. It unified carmakers under a centralized structure, responsible for both civilian and industrial vehicle production. Brands like Trabant, Wartburg, and Barkas became icons of East German mobility, while W50 trucks and Robur vans served the economy and military. The IFA managed parts supply, R&D, and mass production. Although dissolved after reunification, the IFA emblem remains a nostalgic symbol of East German engineering legacy.
