Interesting, thanks for posting.

This coincidentally coincides with a snapshot one of my daughters just 
sent to me.  She was in Germany last week on a short holiday trip and 
took this photo of a Leica dealership in Aachen, about an hour by train 
north of Cologne.  The sign appears to proclaim the store dates back to 
1882, which we both found a bit curious:
