After world War II the surviving camera manufacturers in Dresden, now in East Germany,  such as Zeiss Ikon in East Germany (Contax), VEB Kamerawerke Freital and Ihagee among others were joined to create Volkseigener Betrieb Kamera- und Kinowerke Dresden, which was renamed in 1964 to VEB Pentacon Dresden. In 1968, Meyer-Optik Görlitz was also integrated into VEB Pentacon.
