In the archive centre Hubertusburg in Wermsdorf in the Sächsische Staatsarchiv (State Archive of Saxony), the world's biggest microfilm camera was officially handed over by HERRMANN and KRAEMER for operation on July 1st 2009.

The special H+K A6-4xA0/R camera was developed and completed over a nine-month period at H+K in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The camera makes it possible to expose templates in sizes up to 4xA0 vertically on 105mm microfilm. The accordingly large template table with continuous intake device ensures optimal care for the templates and efficient handling for the operators.
Within the next years, the Sächsische Staatsarchiv will use the camera for the copying and storage of large format templates.
 
Dr.  Thomas Sergej Huck (Manager of the Archive Centre): “I am pleased that the Zentralwerkstatt für Erhaltung von Archiv- und Bibliotheksgut (Central Workshop for the Conservation of Archive and Library Material) in the Archive Centre is hereby perfectly equipped for Saxony’s goal of conserving its unique cultural heritage.“
 
Michael Luetgen (General Manager H+K): “We are proud that we were given the chance to build this unique camera and that we could successfully implement it. The constructive cooperation with the Archive Centre gave us the capability to competently plan and carry this challenging project out.“
 
At present, HERRMANN and KRAEMER are upgrading the camera into a digital camera. In the future this will permit both digital and analogue filming.

Parallel to the construction of this analog and digital special camera, Herrmann und Kraemer also developed and built a custom-made feeding device for the 30 degrees scanner of the company Anagramm. With this, protective and efficient digitalisation of books which are difficult to open has become possible with an angle of aperture of only 30 degrees and till a page layout of 16 x 25 cm.
 
The feeding device is the latest development of the special device building of Herrmann und Kraemer.
