The company roots lay on the business founded in 1892 by Richard Knoll, "Photo Spezialhaus", in Leipzig. Since 1904 it started repairing and manufacturing photographic supply.

In 1910 it moved to Dresden and a few years later, in 1927, it was taken over in by Emil Hofert and later continued by Berthold Altmann. In the early 1930s the company was successfully making box cameras. The mechanician Karl Heinrich Altmann created the unique "Altissa Box" camera line.

The company's cameras were sold under lots of brands of warehouses and photo suppliers. Some of them include:

Adina (Kaufhof)
AKO
Arto
Beier
Errtee (Romain Talbot, Berlin)
Fotam
Fotka (Czech)
Hamaphot
Hermax
Mantel
Mono
Nebo
Rhaco
RECORD
Rilo
Staufen
Wara

In 1937 the company launched its only reflex camera, the Altiflex, and in 1939 its sophisticated 35mm viewfinder camera series, the Altix.

The company's name was changed several times:

Since 1931, EHO-Kamerafabrik GmbH
In 1940, renamed into Amca Werk Berthold Altmann
Only one year later, 1941, became Altissa Camera Werk
Since 1952, VEB Altissa Camera Werk
