It is one of 33 constructions that Dyckerhoff & Widmann AG carried out for the needs of German war production until 1945. The roofing system ("DYWIDAG Schalensheddach") was developed for it in 1932 by the designers Franz Anton Dischinger (1887–1953) and Ulrich Finsterwalder (1897–1988). Immediately after the war, the Praga factory with the production of trucks moved here from Libna.
