Schwerin relaxes rules: Simson mopeds will be permitted more easily in the future!
There is fresh news for all Simson fans in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: On Tuesday, the cabinet in Schwerin decided to introduce a simplified procedure for the registration of Simson mopeds. This was done by n-tv reports, and it will be of particular interest to younger motorcycle enthusiasts and commuters in rural areas. Simson mopeds are very popular, and the state government now wants to reduce the bureaucratic hurdles that previously made it difficult to register reimported vehicles.
In a statement, Economics and Transport Minister Wolfgang Blank emphasized the need to ensure equal treatment of newly registered and reimported Simson vehicles. Many young people in rural areas rely on practical small vehicles to get to work or training. The new resolution not only enables a simplified technical inspection, but also the assessment of reimported mopeds based on original GDR data sheets. These innovations are in coordination with the federal government and other federal states.
A look into the history of the Simson brand
The Simson brand has a long history that dates back to the post-war period. Even if the current developments surrounding mopeds are significant, the historical roots of the brand cast an interesting shadow on what is happening today. An inquiry about an old weapon produced by Simson & Co. in Suhl shows how versatile the company was. This weapon, believed to have been manufactured in February 1950, bears markings indicating the tradition and quality of Simson products. Information about this comes from a discussion on The Firearms Forum.
The numerous test marks and materials, such as the use of special steel from Krupp, testify to the high quality of the products manufactured at the time. Among the various markings is the ominous lobster symbol. Many of the check numbers and symbols are characteristic of East German production after the Second World War and make the story of Simson even more exciting.
A conclusion for the future
With the announced regulation, the history of the Simson brand, combined with the new approval procedures, will certainly be able to win even more fans today. Especially in rural areas, Simson mopeds are not only a piece of history, but also an important part of mobility. The new procedure promises to soon bring relief for many people and make the everyday journey to work or training significantly easier.
The developments in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania show that the state not only relies on tradition, but is also exploring new ways to promote the mobility of its citizens. And who knows, perhaps we will see the first regulated and registered Simson mopeds on the streets of this beautiful region in the near future.
