Brief History of the Marque: Anker

Originally a bicycle manufacturer, from 1949-1958 the factory in Bielefeld, Germany, built motorcycles with Sachs and ILO engines 98-250cc. In 1952 the Paderborner Maschinenbau AG in Paderborn took over the Anker factory. Subsequently the motorcycles were built in Paderborn and only moped production was continued in Bielefeld for a couple of years. Later they built office machines with the ANKER brand, and finally closed the doors in 1976.

By Hartmut Schouwer, with additional information from Tragatsch.

.....................
Alas images at home...posted at behest of friend  I am visiting in Miami due to my not being Internet savy myself and he volunteered to seek information on-line (usually fruitless when done in the past by others trying to help gather more information)  about my Anchor. Basically I consider myself only a discoverer and temporary curator of an engineering marvel which, due to its amazing working condition and beauty as a sculptural object, ought to be in a museum. Disposition of same is in an exploratory stage forme but sale to an institution or curatorial collection would prompt me to sell, yes.

I discovered the machine many years ago in a farm shed in my homeland, Germany.  Cleaning and removing dirt and lubricating it. Then after two days trying to start it...it did so on first attempt.  I have kept it these many years, bringing it to the U.S. and now it is stored in the dry air of Arizona.

I have a friend that has a vintage Anker motorcycle for sale. I can get the specifics but I do not have them handy. The bike runs. It is all original except the handlebars and foot pegs. He even has a copy of the manual and the poster size advertisement. How common are these bikes? Are there many in the states?  --  Kalpin  --  jekalpin at mindspring


I am writing to tell you that my grandfather had a Anker cc98.   That was from before 1940, probably from around 1936. Could this be?

If you have a picture of a Anker from this epoch I would be very glad if you could send it to me.
