History

Friedrich Rometsch set up a panel-beating business in Berlin in 1924 and early on supplied taxi bodies for makers such as Opel and Ley. Before the war the firm built only one-off cars. After the war designer Johannes Beeskow proposed a Volkswagen-based series car, and the Sports Cabriolet debuted at the 1950 Berlin Motor Show at DM 8,250. Volkswagen later stopped supplying platforms and engines because it planned its own sports car, the Karmann Ghia. Estimates of total Beeskow production range from 175 to 500, and no closure date was found in the source.
