Its name is closely connected to the Bergmann company in the development and production of machine guns up to the time of the First World War.
The Bergmann company was the place where his brother, Hugo Schmeisser, received his fundamental training as a weapons designer.

Strangely, the brothers Schmeissers' attorney of the company, Haenel, remained, although they were shareholders and actually acting partners of the enterprise.
