The firm O.D. (Ostner Dresden) was founded by Willy Ostner in Dresden. Willy Ostner produced motorcycles until 1936. Chief designer of the motorcycles was Dipl.Ing.Pobel. Carl Ostner was the brother of founder Willy Ostner and was the frame specialist. He was able to bring his acquired knowledge from his previous firm by Renner & Poppe. Carls Ostner itself was earlier a motorcycle racer. For this reason, some racing drivers such as Arno Zaspel (works-master bei O.D.), Franz Heck, Emil Schweitzer, Zwolle, Bocktenk, Hans von Tümpling used motorcycles of Ostner Dresden.
