  • SKL was formed from the SAG organisation of the GDR period. The company was centred in Salbke in Magdeburg and the S in SAG possibly refers to Salbke. The AG is almost certainly actiengessellschaft. The KL refers to Karl Liebknecht. The next digit is the number of cylinders which the engine has. The rest of the designation is the development and model number. The name Karl Liebnecht has been associated with the company for many years. It is also the name of the founder of the Communist Party in Germany, but this is probably a coincidence. The company is still flourishing and supplies Diesel engines to the German Navy.
