Even though the first is most commonly used. The second doesn't seem wrong either. So both are OK I guess

1) is passive voice.
2) is active voice. (Also, "in Germany" could be placed better)
If "it" is the most important thing, use 1.
If Knoll and Ruska are more important than "it", use 2.
2) is active voice. (Also, "in Germany" could be placed better)
If "it" is the most important thing, use 1.
If Knoll and Ruska are more important than "it", use 2.
