Sewing Machine Factory Wittenberge

The Wittenberge Sewing Machine Factory was a factory in Wittenberge that existed from 1903 until it was liquidated after German reunification by the Treuhandanstalt on January 31, 1992. In the GDR era, the company was a state-owned company and was called VEB Nähmaschinenwerk Wittenberge. Before the GDR was founded, the sewing machines produced bore the Singer name, and then new developments came onto the market under the names Veritas and Naumann.

The factory was put into operation in 1904 as a branch of the American Singer Company: this earned Wittenberge the title of "City of Sewing Machines". In 1926, the Singer Turn- und Sportverein e. V. was founded. The later Veritas brand is still found in the name of the sports club CM Veritas Wittenberge and in the VERITASKLUB.
