FMR Messerschmitt

Fritz Fend an aeronautical engineer approached Willy Messerschmitt with a proposal for Messerschmitt AG to build a more developed version of the Fend 150, Messerschmitt KR175, which began in February 1953.

In 1956, Messerschmitt was allowed to manufacture aircraft again and lost interest in Fend's microcars.

Messerschmitt sold the Regenburg works to Fend, who, with brake and hub supplier Valentin Knott, formed Fahrzeug- und Maschinenbau GmbH, Regensburg (FMR) to continue production of the KR200 and his other vehicles.
