Round off your day at the Leica Store Wetzlar Leitz Park with a visit to the city of Wetzlar, famous for its leading role in the international optical industry and as the birthplace of 35 mm photography. Your search for traces of the genial Oskar Barnack is accompanied by the cafés, shops, restaurants and traditional taverns of the historical old town centre and countless opportunities for shopping. This is the place where his groundbreaking inventions took form and the Leica began its first steps on the way to becoming an icon of the world of photography and founded the success of today’s Leica Camera AG.
