Fantasy and photography in Wetzlar

At Leica Camera AG, we experienced the Leica legend with all our senses in the new company headquarters in Leitz Park. For Leica enthusiasts, interested parties and guests from all over the world, a fascinating adventure park has been created 40 minutes by car from Frankfurt am Main, which offers exciting insights into the Leica world. Photography is the focus here. Exclusive exhibitions, lectures and book signings by internationally renowned photographers make up the Leitz Park's exclusive program of events. In the new company building, visitors could follow production and assembly. An exhibition of historical cameras, lenses and sports optics products, a Leica Gallery, a Leica Store, a factory restaurant and a café rounded off the offer.

The Fantastic Library Wetzlar manages and maintains the world's largest publicly accessible collection of fantastic literature with a book inventory of over 260,000 titles from the fields of science fiction, fantasy, utopias, horror, fantasy, fairy tales, sagas, myths, travel and adventure literature. The collection is unique in its completeness of modern speculative literature.
The Head of the Fantastic Library, Thomas Le Blanc, gave us a lecture on the benefits of fantastic literature for industrial innovation (see Nachr. Chem. 2015, 63, 627 ). Afterwards we were allowed to visit the Phatastic Library in two groups.
