History
The Staeble Lens Factory in Schongau/Lech in 1958 (Image rights) |
Camera industry in Munich |

The Optisches Werk Dr. Staeble & Co ('Staeble') was a German company, founded on 5 May 1908 with a capitalisation of 120,000 Reichsmark. Principals were the German scientist, physicist (optics) and mathematician Dr. Franz Staeble (*1876 †1950), and engineers Alfred Neumann[1] and Oskar Jaeger,[2] the latter listed as 'business manager'.[3] The company primarily made lenses for cameras, binoculars, projectors and enlargers, but prior to World War II also produced entire cameras.[4] The company traded under a number name variations.[5] The demand for Staeble lenses was considerable, with the company proudly announcing that more than 25,000 lenses had been manufactured by Spring 1913.[6] This led to a concomittant expansion of the production facilities. In addition to lenses marketed under its own name, Staeble was an OEM who supplied lenses to a range of German manufacturers both prior to and after World War II.
In 1930 Rodenstock acquired the patent(s) to some of the Staeble inventions[7] as well as lens designs.[8] By 1938 the company traded as Fotop Jaeger, Friedl & Co suggesting that both Neumann's and Staeble's shares in the company had been bought out salesman Otto Friedl and his wife.[9]
During World War II, and presumably also during World War I, Staeble also manufactured military optics, especially gunsights.The Staeble production facility was based initially in Munich but by 1944[10] was moved to Altenstadt near Schongau am Lech (Bavaria) to escape the threat of Allied bombing raids.[11] By 1952 all of the Staeble-Werk has been acquired by the Friedl, and was renamed Optisches Werk Dr. Staeble, Friedl & Co. KG.[12] It was bought out by Agfa in 1969.[13]
Cameras
Staeble lenses can be found in a number of no-name cameras distributed by major German mail-order houses, such as KaDeWe prior to World War I.[14] It is quite possible that Staeble provided the camera bodies as well. Specific Staeble models are:
- Tri-Color Camera (1936)
- Tricolor-Camera for 9 x 12 cm plates fitted with "Dr. Staeble Doppel-Anastigmat Choroplast f/6.3 19.5 cm in Compur.[15]
- Unoplast 10x15 (~1925)
