The Siebel Flugzeugwerke in Halle ( Saale) came out of the 1934 founded clamping Flugzeugwerke Hall show ( branch factory of Easily Klemm in Böblingen ), which were adopted in December 1937 by Frederick Siebel. They were west of Mötzlich in Boelckestraße 70 (now Dessauer Str 70 (51 ° 30 '42 " N, 11 ° 59' 40 " O51.51176811.994323 ) ), a road leading from 1939-45 for public transport was locked.

The Siebel plants built especially travel and transport aircraft of their own design as well as under license Nahaufklärer Heinkel He 46 trainer aircraft Focke -Wulf Fw 44 " Stieglitz ", as well as bomber / reconnaissance aircraft Dornier Do 17 M / P and Junkers Ju 88 The best-known native types were the Fh / Si 204 and Si 202, also called " Bumblebee".

On July 7 and August 16, 1944 and on March 30, 1945 were carried out air raids by the United States Army Air Forces to the work. After Halle ( Saale) after first American occupation was part of the Soviet zone of occupation from July 1945, has been working on the development of the DSF 346. In October 1946, however, the plant was dismantled and spent the entire staff and their families, as far as getting hold after Dubna ( - Podberesje ), about 120 kilometers north of Moscow. In the so-called design bureau OKB 2 was further worked under engineer Heinz ( Heinrich) Rössing. In the fall of 1950, the first " Siebelaner " were allowed to return to Germany.

Together with a business partner Friedrich Siebel founded in 1948 in Munich, again a company to manufacture under license and distribution of foreign sports and commercial aircraft, the Siebel Flugzeugwerke ATG ( SIAT ). The company moved in 1956 to Donauwörth and created in cooperation with the wagon - und Maschinenbau GmbH Donauwörth (WMD ), WMD - Siebel works ATG ( WMD / SIAT ) 1958. Thus, the re-entry began in the aircraft with orders for the manufacture of large parts. Later, the company in many aircraft projects of the postwar period was instrumental.

After the Bölkow GmbH acquired the majority stake in the company, it was fully integrated in 1968 in the merger of the Messerschmitt -Bölkow GmbH in the Group.
