When ZEISS was established exactly 175 years ago, it was curiosity, passion and precision that inspired us and our customers. Over time, new perspectives have shaped our view of the world and we have seen great opportunities in great challenges. On the occasion of today's ZEISS birthday, we would like to offer you insights into these challenges and the ZEISS corporate history with a series of historical articles.
In addition, we're giving you the opportunity to win one of the new ZEISS DTI 3/25 thermal imaging cameras as part of the ZEISS anniversary celebration. |

From Small Workshop to Global Player
ZEISS Company History |
|
|
| Founded in 1846 by university mechanic Carl Zeiss as a small lens workshop in Jena, ZEISS is now one of the world’s leading optical and precision engineering companies. The company’s history is a reflection of German history with all its highs and lows – and is a prime example and pioneer of successful entrepreneurship. |
|
|
| Part 1 + 2: Company history |
|
From the beginning of the production of individual microscopes by Carl Zeiss himself, through the association with physicist Ernst Abbe and glass chemist Otto Schott, and the patent application "double telescope with enlarged objective stand", the basis of binocular design as we know it today was created.
Read more about the beginnings of ZEISS in the first part of the historical article series. |

|
|
|
World War I, the global financial crisis, and World War II were years of ups and downs. When Germany was divided after the war, the world-famous ZEISS factory in Jena also became two companies. Confrontation, coexistence, and finally reunification of the two unequal companies followed.
In the second part, read all about the ZEISS Chronicle of the 20th Century, which reflects German history and highlights the pioneering developments in optics. |

Part 3: Pioneer in Optical Technologies |

|
| ZEISS has always been leading advancements in the world of optics with its groundbreaking developments. Milestones include the Abbe-König prism that is still in use today, the T* antireflective coating, and light transmission values of 95 percent – first achieved in the Victory HT series. |

All ZEISS binoculars for twilight use are equipped with Abbe-Koenig systems – the only roof prisms that do not produce a mirror image.
