Translations:Die Marke Neff am Standort Bretten/5/en

After the war, Dr Alfred Neff set about rebuilding the plant with a workforce now reduced to seven employees.  The influence and contacts made when appointed Mayor of Bretten and District Administrator of the rural district of Karlsruhe in 1945 by the American occupation forces were to prove useful in his efforts to quickly restore the company. Approval to continue operating the plant was thus granted to him as early as July 15, 1945 by the US military government and on October 18, 1945 by the District Administration of Karlsruhe. Using left-over metal from the production of aircraft parts, he succeeded in carrying out makeshift repairs on the destroyed and damaged production halls, paving the way for production to commence again.
