In 1975 met 23 LEICA friends at Burg Staufenberg near Gießen and decided to create a society for users, enthusiasts, collectors and specialists of the historical and current LEICA System. 

Theo Kisselbach  (The LEICA Book) 
and 
Willy Hahne ("Hahne Liste") 
have been foundation members
LEICA HISTORICA e.V. is a registered association in Wetzlar. It holds its regular meetings mainly in Staufenberg. It organizes two meetings a year, guests are welcome. Once a year we arrange an excursion for members and their guests. ( Photo Album )

Today the club has more then 400 members all over the world. Our club magazine  VIDOM is written by members and comes to you twice a year. (Excerpts) It is in German language only, but we plan to edit it also in English. In the meantime we try to add a short summary of some articles in English.
