Erich Polauke run a shop in
Berlin-Charlottenburg, Cauerstrasse 24,
where he offered custom built frames under the Pol-Rad brand. He
learned this business before WWII from
another framebuilder, Otto Strass.
Polauke is insofar specific as he built
frames despite an arm prothesis. Non-typical for German frame builders is the fact that he built some fillet-brazed frames.
