Johannes Wagner, Inh. was a type foundry created in 1921 by Johannes Wagner with his brother and brother-in-law in Berlin, moving to Ingolstadt in 1956.^[1] In the early 1980s the firm acquired many of the matrices of the Weber Typefoundry and most of those from Berthold.^[2] The company, by then named Letternservice Ingolstadt, closed in 2002, and its printing assets were moved to the printing museum in Leipzig.^[3]
