Not quite.  The organization formerly known as
"debis" is now called
"T-Systems".

"Daimler Benz AG" would have been more
appropriate.  Mercedes Benz was
just the car manufacturer--but I'm not sure if the split was
there in
1992.

Until about a year ago, T-Systems actually used parts of the
netblock
for some hosted servers (Deutsche Post, for instance).  But
in the
meantime, they've got non-legacy address space and are no
longer in
the "extra-small" category as far as their RIPE
membership is
concerned.
