Founded in 1932, Kamerawerk C. Richter[1] in Tharandt, Germany produced the Reflecta TLR around 1933. After the war, this company was succeeded by Lipca in West-Germany and by VEB Reflecta in East Germany.
The East-German part fused with Welta in 1946 to form VEB Welta Kamerawerk. This company made the Reflekta II. VEB Welta in turn became part of the large VEB Kamera- und Kinowerk Dresden, a state owned conglomerate of East-German cameramakers that was to become VEB Pentacon in 1964.

Notes
- ↑ There was maybe another camera company called Richter, possibly a distributor from the beginning of the 20th century: a plate engraved H. RICHTER Berlin, Optische Centrale, Spittelmarkt has been reported on a magazine box camera taking 9×12cm film plates, that has some similarity with cameras made by Ernemann.
