Still have my late Grandfather’s fishing line: Made in German Democratic Republic. Tags:germany 4 comments Probably massively over engineered. My Opa bought a lawn mower from 1975 (Built in West Germany), still worked until 3 years ago. Don’t have that level of quality anymore. It’s made out of DEDERON. In English this equals to GEEDEEARRON. I’m also made in GDR. Looks like your line was made by [VEB Chemiefaserwerk Guben](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/VEB_Chemiefaserwerk_Guben) (link to German Wikipedia). Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
