Hello John:
They are recent images from the DHW era, according some
captions; at least several of them.
It looks like DW Photo is more a repair shop than a cameras factory, so
far. It recalls me the former Voigtländer plant, where some repair shops
like FFS (my VSL3 E was repaired there) are working with former Voigtländer
and Rollei employèes.

Thank you Carlos.
Two questions immediately come to my mind:
- Is some of the machine shop equipment still in the building or are they
historical photos?
- There is no mention of DW Photo in the list of unit holders. What has
happened to them?
I have just looked at the Rollei.com website. They have quite a range of
digital cameras, actioncams and accessories.

We know Rollei Fototechnic never went into bankruptcy; this company was
bought by a Danish investment group in 2002 and from the ending of 2004 it
started to be split into different companies, The Danish group created a
less known Rollei company, Rollei Immobilien GmbH &Co. KG; to administrate
the Rollei real state in Braunschweig.
They are offering to rent two historical buildings, the factory and the
Rollei offices. You can still see elements from the Rollei cameras golden
age and the wall to calibrate the Rollei Metric if you explore this site:
