Wilhelm Hoffmeister, born in 1895, was the brother of the astronomer Cuno Hoffmeister (1892 - 1968). They were the sons of a doll manufacturer from Sonneberg in Thuringia. While the older brother left many traces in their hometown, including a street named after him, and made an impact in literature, it is indeed challenging to find information about Wilhelm and the cameras sold under his brand.
