Happy birthday to our founding father Carl Zeiss! 💙 He was born the son of Friederike and August Zeiss in Weimar, Germany, on 11 September 1816. At the age of 30, he opened his first precision workshop for mechanics and optics in Jena, Germany – thus laying the foundation for the successful development of ZEISS. Thank you for your spirit of always challenging the limits of imagination, Carl. #ZEISS #Birthday #Technology #Innovation #History #Throwback
