Agfa Camerawerk

Agfa Camerawerk is a German optical instruments and photographic equipment manufacturer.¹ It was founded in 1896 by Alexander Heinrich Rietzschel.¹ It is headquartered in Munich.¹ It is part of IG Farben.¹

Das Agfa Camerawerk München war eine bedeutende Produktionsstätte der Agfa AG, spezialisiert auf die Herstellung von Kameras und fotografischen Geräten. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde das Werk zur Rüstungsproduktion umfunktioniert und war auch Standort eines KZ-Außenlagers, in dem Häftlinge Zwangsarbeit leisten mussten. Nach 1945 kehrte Agfa München zur Produktion ziviler Kameratechnik zurück, bevor die Fertigung Anfang der 1980er Jahre aufgrund technologischer Veränderungen und Marktrückgänge eingestellt wurde.² From the German Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0
