Already in the last months of the war the enterprise had prepared for the military defeat and regional subsidiary organizations had formed. Only 1949 after a smashing had been turned away by the allied ones, received again a uniform guidance for completely Germany to Siemens. The company center became to Munich (Siemens & Halske) and attaining (Siemens Schuckertwerke and Siemens cleaner works) shifts. Bavaria became thus the new center of the company, after the production locations had abroad been lost in the Soviet zone of occupation and.
1950 reached the enterprise again 90 per cent of the prewar production of 1936. The product range was continued to develop, even if large-scale projects and capital goods at meaning won. Starting from 1954 one entered into the data processing and produced semiconductor components and computer, for instance the Siemens 2002. For the consumer goods range (e.g. washing machines, 1957 the Siemens AG was created. Also in the medical technology one could develop the own position for instance with the production of cardiac pacemakers. the company employed and gains 1962 240,000 coworkers an annual turnover of 5,4 billion DM. This had quadrupled itself thereby within one decade.
1966 was combined Siemens & Halske AG, Siemens Schuckertwerke AG and Siemens cleaner works AG (until 1969 as Siemens AG, Werner work for medical technology, late Siemens Medical Solutions) into the Siemens AG. The re-organization was locked 1969 with the education by six divisions (elements, data processing technology, energy engineering, building services engineering, medical technology, communications technology), five central sites (marketing and management, finances, personnel, technology, selling) and numerous so-called regional units (branches, foreign addresses). An extensive net at daughter and holding companies remained nevertheless existing. one took over 1967 from Brown, Boveri & Cie the Zuse kg to 70%, two years later to 100%. Simultaneously the household appliance sector with from Bosch to the Bosch Siemens domestic appliances GmbH (BSH) together was put. 1969 took place together with the AEG the establishment of the subsidiary companies transformers union (DO) and power station union (KWU). 1978 changed the Osram GmbH completely into Siemens possession. Other subsidiaries like the union of building of Siemens or the Siemens Planiawerke were however repelled.
To technical successes of the 1980er years belongs the 1980 together with the German telephone works in Berlin produced world-wide first digital telecommunications plant. Also in the building of rail-mounted vehicles, which was separated 1989 into the Siemens traffic engineering, Siemens was successful by its participation in the ICE project. Here besides the project of the magnetic levitation transport system Transrapid was pursued.
1986/87 had increased the company turnover on 51,4 billion DM. 1987 were extended the Siemens AG by the divisions KWU and semiconductor, before 1989/90 then a renewed reorganization with now fourteen divisions (energy production (KWU); Transfer of energy and - distribution; Equipment technology, drive, switching and building services engineering; Automatic control engineering; Data and information technology; private communication systems; Safety engineering; Traffic engineering; Automotive engineering; medical technology; Semiconductor; Elements and tubes one converted). This arrangement corresponds to the today's, now English designated, company parts still to a large extent.
The business development did not run in the last decades by any means without reservation positively. Between 1971 and 1976 as well as at the beginning of the 1980er years sank the number of the coworkers around several thousands. A provisional coworker highest level was then reached 1991 with 427.000 employees. 1985/86 came it besides to a brief turnover break-down of 14%. Above all the German homeland market lost compared with the non-European markets strongly at meaning. Already at the beginning of the 1980er produced Siemens in 37 countries in 141 factories. The foreign country was at this time with strongly 50% in the company turnover involved, during this portion into the 1990er years on two thirds rise.
In order to remain competitive in the range EDP technology, acquired Siemens 1990 a portion of 51% of the NIXDORF COMPUTER AG and brought the Siemens division also into the Siemens Nixdorf information systems AG. The enterprise however 1999 again separated and firmiert today as Wincor Nixdorf internationally GmbH. The PC section was only integrated into the Fujitsu Siemens of computer GmbH, which came out 1999 from the union of the Fujitsu of computer Europe with Siemens computer of system. Likewise 1999 were separated the range of the passive elements and tubes under the name Epcos AG and the semiconductor range under the name Infineon Technologies AG. The Siemens AG sold the last portions of these two companies 2006.
In the black book mark companies - the machinations of the world companies Siemens the mass driving and destruction of the bases of life is accused by dam projects as well as the participation in the building of atomic reactors (see "black book mark companies", S. 362ff.)
In an article of the news magazine of the mirrors by an PR-action one reported, with which Siemens coworkers changed this Wikipedia entry purposefully, in order to place the acting executive committee chairmen of the company Klaus small field into a better light; also the sales of the Handysparte at BenQ was varnished.
