Comment
Menzel: BBBFa: Maschinenbau Gesellschaft
On June 6, 1835, in Linden Hanover, the mechanical engineering and Iron foundry was founded by George Egestorf and from 1871 the name “Hannoversche Maschinenbau Aktien Gesellschaft” arose.
this company was known as a manufacturer of steam plows, boilers, locomotives and steam winches. The factory was
based in Linden. In 1904 the name HANOMAG appears for
the first, abbreviation of "Hannoverschen Machinenbau Aktien Gessellschaft".
Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig - Linden (Hanomag) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 1.0 g is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was produced during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s, when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the government was forced to introduce new currency denominations to keep up with the inflation. The coin's design features a linden tree, which is a symbol of peace and hope, and its mintage was limited to only a few thousand coins, making it a highly sought-after collector's item.
