RFT
VEB Robotron Meßelektronik · Otto Schön
VEB Funkwerk Dresden was a publicly owned company (VEB) in the city of
Dresden during the times of the former DDR (East Germany). The company was
founded under Russian occupation immediately after WWII, in 1945,
and was initially known as Radio H. Mende & Co. Dresden.
In 1948, it became a Volkseigener Betrieb (VEB)
and was renamed to VEB Funkwerk Dresden
[1].
As the company was also part of the RFT consortium,
it was also known as RFT Funkwerk Dresden.

Initially Funkwerk Dresden contentrated on the production of radio
receivers for the domestic market, with bulk production starting
in 1951. In 1962, the production of radios is cancelled and moved completely
to Stern-Radio Staßfurt. From that moment on, the company concentrated
on the production of measuring equipment and two-way VHF radio
communication systems.
In 1969,
Funkwerk Dresden was merged with the VEBs, Vakutronik
and Schwingungstechnik und Akustik Dresden, after which it went on as
VEB Meßelektronik Dresden (abbreviated as MKD).

A few years later, in 1972, the name 'Otto Schön' was added to the title
and the company became known as VEB Meßelektronik 'Otto Schön' Dresden.
This name lasted until the company was merged in 1979 with the large VEB consortium 'Robotron',
after which the name was changed to VEB Robotron-Meßelektronik
'Otto Schön' Dresden. On 30 June 1990, after a variety of problems in the
supply chain, the company was dissolved in the light of the reunification of
Germany [2].
This was by no means the end of electronics and measurement technology in
Dresden. Following the closure of Meßelektronik Dresen, a variety
of smaller and larger companies was established. Nearly 30 new companies
with three or more employees were founded in and around Dresden [2].
