Gefell (German pronunciation: [ɡəˈfɛl] ⓘ) is a town in the Saale-Orla-Kreis
district, in Thuringia, Germany.
Overview
It is situated 16 km south of Schleiz, and 14 km northwest of Hof. It is where the
Berlin professional audio company Georg Neumann GmbH relocated during World War II.
During the time of the GDR, Gefell was in East Germany and private companies were
nationalized, including this factory. Since reunification, the company, now known
as Microtech Gefell, has specialized in microphones and is once again privately
owned, this time by the families of managers of the pre-war Neumann company.
