“I hereby decide: It will be risked!“

Hyperinflation, economic crisis, and experts urgently advising against serial production.

Against all odds, Ernst Leitz II made the bold call to manufacture the first Leica camera anyway. With those famous words, he launched series production, saved hundreds of jobs in Wetzlar, and changed photography forever. 📸

Want to dive deeper into his story and the history of Leica? Experience it firsthand at the Ernst Leitz Museum right here at Leica Welt. 🏛️

Huge congratulations to on winning an ICONIC AWARD 2026 from the German Design Council! 🏆 We are incredibly proud that the design they created for our Ernst Leitz Museum has received this prestigious recognition.

The ICONIC AWARDS honor outstanding international achievements in architecture and interior design—and you can experience this award-winning concept for yourself across 600 sqm. studio klv brilliantly translated the iconic principle of the viewfinder into the space: striking metal frames in black, brass, and copper structure the areas, while a kinetic aperture in the panorama window gently responds to visitors and shifts the lighting atmosphere.

Four interactive zones bring the fascination of photography to life at our museum. Come on by and see the award-winning design for yourself! ✨

Cinema reimagined—for almost a century! 🍿🎥

In the latest episode of Leitz-Park Stories, we’re diving into the big comeback of projection. Fun fact: back in the 1920s, Ernst Leitz was already designing pioneering projectors like the iconic Uleja.

Our host Sebastian Scholz and Manager of Leica Store Wetzlar welcomes a special guest for this deep dive: Stephan Albrecht, Managing Director of Leica Smart Projection GmbH.

Together, they talk about:
✨ Why projectors are becoming the ultimate modern alternative to traditional TVs
🧠 How nearly 100 years of optical heritage blends with cutting-edge Smart Projection tech
🎬 What creates that true, immersive cinema feeling at home—from the Leica Cine 1 to the versatile Leica Cine Compact

An inspiring conversation on tradition, design, and the future of home entertainment!

📸 Girl with a Leica (1934) – Behind the shadows lies a story of her own.

Her name was Evgenia Lemberg – a young photo-reporter and student of Alexander Rodchenko. In the summer of 1934, Rodchenko captured her in Moscow’s Park of Culture and Rest.

While the image became world-famous, behind the striking geometric shadows stands not simply a model, but a photographer in her own right. In her hands: a Leica. For Rodchenko, who had been using the system since 1928, the compact 35mm camera was the key to unprecedented freedom of perspective. Though the camera itself is barely visible in the framing, Rodchenko made it central by giving the masterpiece its name: Girl with a Leica.

An iconic moment between two photographers and a true milestone in modern photography.
