Abstract The production of the neutral strange mesons \ksf\ and the strange baryons $\Lambda$ and their antiparticles is investigated using deep inelastic scattering events measured with the H1 detector at HERA. The \ksf\ and $\Lambda$ production cross sections and the baryon to meson ratios are reported differentially for the range of negative photon four-momentum transfer squared $2 < Q^2 < 100$ $\GeVSq$ and photon inelasticity $0.1 < y < 0.6$. In addition, the \ksf\ production rates are compared directly with those of charged particles in the same phase space region. The $\Lambda - ar{\Lambda}$ asymmetry is also measured differentially and found to be consistent with zero in all bins. The model predictions, based on leading order Monte Carlo programs in general are able to describe the overall features of the measurements, however fail in particular details. The data agree with the expectations from $e^+ e^-$ colliders.
