Subject: [Leica] Leica on the way back to Wetzlar?

An article in the german mag "Photoscala International" says Leica is 
planning the return to Wetzlar; and that a suitable 13 hectare parcel of 
land has already been bought by Leitz Park GmbH (belongs to Socrates 
Holding, which is owned by ACM Project engineering, one of Leica's new 
owners). The article is from march 29th so it's probably not an april fool's 
joke.

Seen from the marketing point of view, the change to Solms has always less 
than suboptimal, as "Wetzlar" was part of the famous Leica brand. But I 
believed they wanted to go back to Wetzlar after they left Canada, but 
couldn't find a suitable estate then.
