It was closed down in 1982, but it's still open to public today.

Bump with actual advertisement from East Germany circa 1963.
Not exactly on the level of Mercedes advertising, but well Mercedes and VW were banned here, so they had virtually no competitors since the Wartburg 311 was not only aging but also produced in much smaller quantity and the 353 was not there yet.
