Neue Görlitzer Camera-Werke Robert Reinsch & Wolf Nachf. was a camera-maker in Germany, founded in 1920 by Robert Reinsch[1], former leading craftsman at Herbst & Firl. It took over a factory in Görlitz where Herbst & Firl had produced Ernemann's Globus cameras.

The company made wooden-bodied view cameras similar to the Globus ones, and big studio cameras for large format photography, mainly badged with its Globus-Stella and Globica labels. It also made tripods, forensic cameras and repro cameras. Company owners were Reinsch and the ancestors of a Mr. Wolf.[2] In 1958 the company became part of Pentacon group and continued making the professional studio camera Globica. Production ended in 1991.
