The connection between Carl Zeiss and Hensoldt is deeply rooted in the history of German optics industry: For almost 85 years, Hensoldt was the most important subsidiary for long-range optics within the Zeiss Group. The historical milestones of this connection are divided into the following phases: 1. The takeover (1928) The Moritz Carl Hensoldt company, founded in 1852 in Wetzlar, was one of the most important pioneers of binoculars and rifle scopes. After the founder’s death, the Carl Zeiss Foundation acquired the majority stake in Hensoldt AG in 1928. Hensoldt remained as an independent brand for long-range optics within the group. Production for Zeiss (from 1964) From 1964, the collaboration was massively intensified: The Hensoldt plant in Wetzlar took over the complete production of civilian binoculars and rifle scopes for the Carl Zeiss (West) brand. Also, the early, classic models of your Zeiss Diadem opera binoculars were often manufactured by Hensoldt on Zeiss’s behalf at that time. At the same time, Hensoldt produced high-end optics under its own name for the military and authorities (e.g., the famous Bundeswehr binoculars). A unique opportunity for collectors! Dear buyers!
