About

Gebrüder Werner (GW) (Werner Brothers) was a company in Tharanth, near Dresden, which made shutters. Founded by Otto and Alfred Werner in 1912 as a small camera workshop in Deuben, they moved their growing business with leaf shutters to Tharandt in 1923[1]. Their shutters were exclusively two-blade leaf shutters with automatic cocking (by pressing the release button), and quite simple technology with a limited number of shutter settings (mostly 25-50-100 and B)[2]. Brandnames used were Junior, B
