The same carriage, designed by Krupp, was used for both guns. This Krupp design was intended to replace 21cm Langer Morser, and issue began in 1939. It was a vast improvement in every respect, since the carriage was the 'dual recoil' model with 360 degrees traverse. In 1942, the production of Brummbar guns was cancelled so that more 17cm guns could be produced.
