Kochmann Korelle cameras
The Kochmann Korelle is a family of rollfilm cameras produced in Germany by Franz Kochmann of Dresden before the Second World War. The range covered different formats and body styles, and is now encountered mainly as a collector item rather than a working user camera.
Evidence for what a Kochmann Korelle is worth at UK saleroom level is thin: a single recorded hammer price of £1,200 from 2012 sits in our sales history, which points to a high-end collector result rather than a typical figure. With only one data point, a reliable current-day price band cannot be quoted in 2026, and individual examples can sell for far less or more depending on model, condition and completeness. Buyers researching what a Korelle sells for today should treat that historic hammer as an outlier and seek further comparable auction results before committing.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Kochmann Korelle worth today?
Our sales history contains only one UK auction hammer result, £1,200 in 2012, so a dependable current value cannot be given; prices in 2026 will vary widely by specific Korelle model and condition.
How much does a Kochmann Korelle sell for at auction?
The single recorded hammer price in our data is £1,200, but with no other comparable sales logged this should be treated as an isolated result rather than a typical market price.
Is the Kochmann Korelle a collector camera or a user camera?
Korelles are pre-war German rollfilm cameras and are now bought mainly by collectors; their value depends heavily on originality, completeness and working condition.
