==History of the name== In 1891, Heinrich Dreyer wanted to give a name to his most successful machine, a grain cleaner. A local teacher from Gaste suggested the name of "Amazone" referring to the female warriors from Greek mythology. Dreyer accepted the suggestion and had the name registered as a trademark.
