It was founded in 1918 as Ufa-Sinfonieorchester. Following World War II, the orchestra survived virtually unscathed. It was able to continue its work at the old location in Babelsberg in 1946 with the founding of East German Deutsche Film Aktiengesellschaft (DEFA) as the DEFA music department's own studio orchestra. Almost all of DEFA's productions were recorded with the orchestra, including film classics such as Wolfgang Staudte's The Murderers Are Among Us (1946), Heiner Carow's The Legend of Paul and Paula (1973), Peter Schamoni's Spring Symphony (1983) and all episodes of the Deutscher Fernsehfunk TV series Polizeiruf 110. wikipedia
