Amazingly German CPCs didn't have German keyboard layouts though, this feature was reserved for the PCW/Joyce and PC1512/PC1640 models.
Until 1987 Schneider Computer Division also distributed the Amstrad PCW8256 (also known as Joyce), PCW8125 (Joyce Plus), PC1512 and PC1640. At the end of 1987 Schneider had distanced itself from Amstrad due to differences in dealership policies. So they Amstrad started to distribute the CPC and PCW series via a new german branch named [[Amstrad GmbH]], whilst [[Schneider]] started from 1988 an own production of computers, : they built the EuroPC and EuroPCII (two very compact PC units on the same computer-in-a-keyboard format like the CPC6128), EuroXT, EuroAT and TowerAT, which were even 'Made in Germany'.
Until today you can buy computers with the brand name 'Schneider' on them, though the company has ceased a long time ago and 'Schneider' is just a brand name for Fujitsu-Siemens computers.
