A Gt8 tram, built in 1963, on the Upper Rhine Railway (OEG)
After the acquisition of the majority of shares by Bauknecht the coach factory in 1971 was converted into a limited liability company (GmbH) and its production was refocussed on the repair and conversion of wagons. After several name changes and takeovers, especially due to the bankruptcy of Bauknecht, it finally became the 'BWR Wagon Repair Company' (German: BWR Waggonreparatur GmbH).
