Volkscycle was not a Grerman. It was a USA brand with manufacturing contracted American and Japanese companies. I've never seen one made in Germany.

One other German brand which has not been previously mentioned in Mondu.

The only German bicycle I've owned is a 1980's Hercules city bicycle. It was owned by the retired German chimney sweep who lived around the corner from my father. His family gave it to me, after he passed away. It was too finicky for them to maintain.
