When BSH was founded in 1967, the Siemens subsidiary Constructa was also affected by the subsequent restructuring and standardization of BSH's production and sales structure. Production of washing machines, previously based in Lintorf near Düsseldorf, is relocated to Berlin. The following 18 black-and-white photographs from Lintorf, dated 29 March 1966, are now in the possession of the BSH Corporate Archives.
