Some cameras sold by Wirgin and its American sales branch Edixa were not made by Wirgin or Franka, mainly the Edixa 8mm movie camera which was made in Japan. In 1971, shortly before its closing, the company introduced a quite modern but heavy SLR camera. In 1968 Henry Wirgin closed his original company and continued the production of some camera models in a new smaller plant. Waaske had constructed it at Wirgin company. This camera was none less than the prototype of what became the famous Rollei 35. Wirgin granted the rights on a new 35mm viewfinder camera to Waaske. Waaske left Wirgin since Henry Wirgin had decided to give up camera production sooner or later. Made in Bayreuth and Wiesbaden were the small Edixa 16 cameras for 16mm film with removable coupled or uncoupled selenium meter, all derived from an original model designed by Heinz Waaske in Wiesbaden and developed and produced in Wiesbaden and Bayreuth as Edixa 16, Franka 16, or, for the Karstadt warehouses, as alka 16. Since then several Edixa 35mm viewfinder cameras had been made in the Franka-Kamerawerk in Bayreuth/Oberfranken. He also constructed a more elegant SLR prototype, and later a complicated electronically controlled SLR with Compur shutter, and a stereo rangefinder camera. He constructed the company's first SLR, a model with focal plane shutter, the first camera like that in Western Germany. In 1951 the talented mechanician Waaske became a camera constructor. At that time Waaske had sold his prototype of a subminiature camera to the Americans. An administrative officer of the American occupied zone of Germany sent Heinz Waaske as promising aspirant to Wirgin. The Wirgin factory in Wiesbaden became incorporated into the Adox company.Īfter the war Heinrich Wirgin came back from America, now as Henry Wirgin, and refounded the Wirgin company in Wiesbaden. Max might have been already in the US, his brothers followed. Heinrich and Josef Wirgin still lead their company in Wiesbaden, but with the help of one of their clerks they managed to escape from Germany. In their delusion of grandeur the political leaders decided to start making true all their only ideologically justified abhorrent menaces against minorities in Germany, especially against the Jews. In 1938 circumstances in Germany had changed since the Nazi party had reached the peak of its success, pushed by the Olympics in Berlin in 1936 and the economic upswing. These came equipped with a Wirgin Gewironar lens and a Compur shutter or a Steinheil Culminar lens (like a Tessar) in a Prontor shutter. From the mid-1930s it also made Edinex 35mm viewfinder cameras, which they produced also as Adrette for Adox.
In 1932 the company surprised the market with a very small viewfinder camera for type 127 film, the Gewirette. Wirgin was founded by the brothers Heinrich, Max and Josef Wirgin in 1920.
Ha anche prodotto alcuni obiettivi per le sue fotocamere, tra cui diversi obiettivi con una vite M42. Wirgin era il principale produttore tedesco di fotocamere reflex con otturatore sul piano focale. Ha sede nella capitale Assia Wiesbaden e realizzava una linea di reflex 35mm piuttosto economiche anni '50 agli anni '70, tra cui Edixa Reflex e Edixa-Mat Reflex. Wirgin era una società tedesca che è ancora nota per i suoi marchi Wirgin e Edixa e per i suoi dati di fotocamere come Edina, Edinex o Gewirette.
