Ruberg & Renner, founded 1918[1] in Hagen, Germany, were a company making bicycles and chain-drive mechanisms. From about 1931 they manufactured inexpensive cameras, such as the Ruberg-Futuro.[2] Camera production ceased in about 1942, when all production effort was directed to supporting the war effort, making ammunition belts for aircraft machine guns and the like.[3]
