I was working on a VW Vanagon Campmobile and the blower motor I replaced was made in West Germany. Probably not the only thing since it was pre wall fall. And I must note: I wondered if I had a photo of it, so I started in on old photo archives. And I went down fuckin memory lane for about an hour straight, lol. And I found the photo (from 2019)

No. That clearly states that the material it is made from is "Stainless West Germany", which is a type of steel made mainly from iron, west, germany, and chromium.

I have the counterpart at home! Rostfrei means stainless

I was tasked with fixing a hydraulic unit a couple years back. The culprit was a Rexroth valve made in West Germany. Even had a cork gasket! I told the company that they had clearly gotten their money's worth out of that valve, as it was older than most of their employees.

I once bought a car in about 2009 and yeah the tyres held air but were dry rotted but held air, I was thinking about driving it home nice and slow and gentle.

Then I saw "Made in West Germany" on the sidewall, I called a towtruck.

the compass set at my drafting desk has the marking

GERMANY

U.S. ZONE

it predates even west germany! i'm pretty sure the desk itself is even older.

i may perhaps take a photo sometime :)

Part of my job involves inspecting aircraft life vests. The CO2 cartridges and vests are reused as long as they meet the required pressure/weight. Occasionally I'll get a CO2 cartridge made in West Germany that still meets the required weight

I know Germany is knows for good engineering, but "Stainless West Germany" is vague and a bit suspicious. The steel type matters more than the country of origin.

It'd be more interesting if it said DDR/East Germany

Sorry but west germany will be forever stained

Best Germany.

At my workplace we still got some soldering fat that was still made in west Germany.

My school had a microscope that was made in USSR

I graduated two years ago. I live in West Germany.

I once saw some old tools made in Germany, mind you they were from 1907. Fucken Kaiserist steel.

It's nothing crazy, but I recently ( give or take a couple years ago ) got a supposedly made in Western Germany Klann Quality tin. It's nothing special, just a red thing with stagecoach design, but it's cool despite the fact it was probably as mass produced as they could do it back whenever it was made.
