ORWO

Revived Germany

ORWO (for ORiginal WOlfen) is a brand of photographic film products, based in Wolfen, Germany. ORWO was established in East Germany in 1964 as a brand for film and magnetic tape, mainly produced at the former VEB Filmfabrik Wolfen (now Chemical Park Bitterfeld-Wolfen). The Wolfen factory was established by AGFA (Aktien-Gesellschaft für Anilin-Fabrikation) in 1910. In 1936 Agfacolor Neu, the first modern colour film which incorporated dye couplers, was developed at the factory.
