Orenstein & Koppel: Aufstieg, Enteignung und der tiefe Fall

Industrial history that moves you. From humble beginnings to the rise of international market leader and the dramatic end. This documentary tells the story of how simple traders became Germany's largest narrow-gauge railway manufacturer. We explore the tragic history of the Jewish Orenstein founding family during the Nazi era, the post-war construction machinery boom, and the misguided business decisions that ultimately led to the empire's inevitable demise.
