Please add "Polizei Berlin" as extra info, as this was their standard patrol car during the 1960s. Rear view of a similar vehicle seen on a photograph of the same era. Can someone narrow it down any further? |

Thumb would have to be made (the car, not the thumbnail) between May 2, 1961 (new taillights in D) and August 2, 1963 (New decklid profile to match the wider 1964 number plate lamp August 5) (For Export/Deluxe models, this was the last production day for Faltschiebedach, as well as the Pope's nose in most of the world, but they were kept for the basic model like this 1965 1200 A ) |

@ingo/robi/andrepa, @AleX_DJ? Any idea what the conditions were like, for the factory workers, back in the sixties - would the Saturdays also be work days, with six work days each week? |

You mean in the DDR? |

For what regards the DDR, my dad says it should have been 5 work days a week. I made a little search and it seems that the they were 6 days a week until 1966, then it was introduced a 5 days work week every two weeks in 1966 and from 1967 were all the weeks with 5 work days, but this costed the suppression of some festivities. On the contrary schools were open also on Saturdays |

Actually what I had in mind was the VW plants, so BRD. Interestingly, DDR conditions were not to bad, as we had five days and 42.5 hours a week only from 1968. And I also attended school on Saturdays in the seventies, yes. Edit: We means in Norway. -- Last edit: 2018-08-28 15:35:42 |

@tore-40: a plenty pf details here: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/40-Stunden-Woche (only in German available). For West Germany you see, that the 40-hour-week (de facto the 5-day-week, although the five-day-week was never fixed by exact laws) was introduced in different years for different economy-branches. Workers in the West German automotive branch are included in the contracts and tariffs of the metal industry, but employees of the large German car brands do have better company-contracts with higer wages and better social insurance topics as high pensions. |

Thanks, @ingo/AleX_DJ. Enough off-topic for now (or was it? VW production plants may be relevant) |

Naah, it's not too off-topic, as it belongs also to the automotive topic. And in Germany the automotive complex is always political, too. |
