East Germany - GDR

Period 1978 - 1989

VOLVO 264 TE Limousine

Period of the President of the State Council of the GDR Erich HONECKER
(1976 - 1989)

Erich Honecker, number one of the German Democratic Republic will use fifteen Citroën C 25 from 1978 to 1989.

The preparations for the 40th anniversary of the German Democratic Republic being in progress, the person in charge of the supply for the government, makes leave two of the CX 25 Prestige vintage 85 at Nilsson, Swedish coachbuilder established in Laholm, in order to make them lengthen of 60 centimeters. For special bodies (limousines, baby carriages, etc.), Nilsson is Volvo's subcontractor. At the same time, a CX 25 Prestige Turbo 2, also 60 centimeters longer, was ordered from Pierre Tissier by the East German diplomats in Paris.

At the end of his presidency, no less than five Citroën CX Prestige were part of the government's fleet, including the two lengthened and bodied by the Swedish car company Nilsson. These "Prestige", 5.50 m long, were ordered in 1984 but, due to customs problems, the two luxury cars were only delivered in June 1989. Consequently, they were hardly used since the regime fell, just like the Berlin Wall, work of Erik HONECKER in November 1989.
