VEB Polytechnik

VEB Polytechnik was a company from the German Democratic Republic (GDR) located in Chemnitz (then called Karl-Marx-Stadt).

In 1874 the founder Emil Oskar Richter invented the bow compass.

After switching its focus to overhead projectors in the late 1960s, it was renamed to VEB Polytechnik.

In 1983, the company started manufacturing a microcomputer teaching kit called "Poly-Computer 880".

VEB Polytechnik is also known for creating Poly Play, the only arcade video game to be made in the German Democratic Republic.
