Roenisch Company Address
By Ingmar Krause

> "Ronisch, Carl, est. 1845 in Dresden, Germany.  A new factory was
> built in St. Petersburg before Carl died in 1893.  Carl's sons Albert
> and Hermann took over the company.  Ronisch made pianos for Ludwig
> Hupfeld before they joined forces in 1918.  About 1947 the name was
> changed to Leipziger Pianofortefabrik.  For a short time the company
> was also known as Deutsche Piano-Union Leipzig.  Present address
> Bohlitz-Senefelder Strs. 18, D.D.R."

While this is most likely a valid quote (I do hope it is), needless
to say that "D.D.R." is no longer a "present" address.  Current valid
substitutions would be "D", "DE", "Deutschland", "GER", "Germany",
or even: "Allemagne".

(And then there was that other strange one -- was that "F.R.G."?
Federal Republic of Germany?  Not sure if that's still around, as
there is no need to distinguish between two countries anymore.
Geez, that's also now over 10 years!)
