Kraftfahrzeug-technik : Juli 1958 : VEB Verlag Technik : Berlin : DDR : VEB "Ernst Grube" Werdau Kraftomnibus H6B

            The cover to the July 1958 issue of Kraftfahrzeug-technik - the East German magazine of automotive technology - and that amongst other articles includes a description of the new motor bus type H6B, produced by the state enterprise VEB Kraftfahrzeugwerk "Ernst Grube" of Werdau. The magazine's covers also take the form of an advert for this model of motor bus.

Kraftfahrzeugwerk "Ernst Grube"  Werdau had its origins in a joint stock company of 1898, Sächsische Waggonbau GmbH, that was a continuation of an older concern of the Schumann family's wagon construction company. The company has, unsurprisingly, a complex history but over the years has built motor lorries, railway vehicles, trams, trolleybuses and motor buses along with trailers. After the end of WW2, with little or no heavy vehicle construction capacity in the eastern section of Germany, later the DDR, the business, Waggonfabrik Schumann-Werke, came under state control as part of the larger LOWA organisation. The VEB was named after the resistance fighter Ernst Grube in 1952 and in 1954 became the VEB "Ernst Grube" Werdau.

The production of buses began again in 1952 and the H6B advertised here was a development of the type H6 and came into production in 1954. The vehicle had an lightweight integral body. The H6B was, as the advert states, used on both urban and rural routes. By 1959, under the plan to coordinate production of vehicle types across the Soviet block bus production at Werdau was phased out.
