Enigma K&K → ← ChiMaAG
Chiffriermaschinen Gesellschaft Heimsoeth und Rinke oHG · 1935-1945
Heimsoeth und Rinke,
in full: Chiffriermaschinen Gesellschaft Heimsoeth und Rinke oHG,
abbreviated H&R, was a German engineering company, founded on 31 July 1935
by Rudolf Heimsoeth and Elbeth Rinke – two former employees of
Chiffriermaschinen Aktiengesellschaft (ChiMaAG) –
and headquartered at Uhlandstraße 136 in Berlin-Wilmersdorf (Germany).
The company is effectively the successor to ChiMaAG and was responsible
for the largest production quantity (20,000+) of Enigma cipher machines
in the run-up to, and during, World War II
(WWII).
Note that whilst H&R was the engineering company where the
Enigma cipher machine was further developed and marketed,
most of the actual production took place at Konski & Krüger
(K&K) at Chausseestraße 117, also in Berlin. In addition,
other manufacturers were contracted to
build certain Enigma models and parts during WWII,
such as Olympia in Erfurt and Ertel-Werk in München.

Ludendorffstraße 6 is the same address as Steglizterstraße 2 — the
address where the company's predecessor Chiffriermaschinen AG
was located. On 7 March 1936, Steglizerstraße was renamed Ludendorffstraße
and the houses were renumbered. After the war, in 1947, it was renamed
Pohlstraße [2][3].
