Editing Messerschmitt (section)

==Post-war==
For ten years after [[World War II]], the company was not allowed to produce aircraft. One alternative the company came up with was the three-wheeled [[motorcycle]]/[[bubble car]] or [[Kabinenroller]] (cabinscooter) [[Messerschmitt KR175|KR175]]&nbsp;/ [[Messerschmitt KR200|KR200]], designed by an aircraft engineer, [[Fritz Fend]].{{citation needed|date=May 2013}}

The cars were actually made by Fend's own company in the Messerschmitt works at Regensburg, and [[Willy Messerschmitt]] had very little to do with the vehicles other than ruling that they carried his name. Production of the KR200 ceased in 1964.{{citation needed|date=May 2013}}

The Messerschmitt factory also produced prefabricated houses, which were designed as "self-building-kits" mainly based on an alloy framework.{{citation needed|date=May 2013}}

===Return to aviation===
On 6 June 1968, Messerschmitt AG merged with the small civil engineering and civil aviation firm [[Bölkow]], becoming Messerschmitt-Bölkow. The following May, the firm acquired [[Hamburger Flugzeugbau]] (HFB). The company then changed its name to [[Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm]] (MBB). In 1989 MBB was taken over by [[DASA]]. DASA later operated as "EADS Germany", which is now [[Airbus]].<ref>Answers.com (n.d.).
