David, as nobody appears to reply let me try:

Moritz Carl Hensoldt was the founder of the Hensoldt optical company in
1852. Later on in 1928 they joined the ZEISS group.
After WWII under the leadership of Dr. Hans Hensoldt the Hensold products
gained an outstanding reputation over the years, but later on they were sold
only under the Zeiss brand.
All Zeiss binoculars and rifle scopes are manufactured in Wetzlar.
If your Binoculars are mechanically in a good shape, I think it is worth to
get them overhauled.
