Carl Zeiss is a German brand that is popular for making quality optic lenses. Just like Leica, Zeiss has facilities everywhere in the world. The high end clinical microscopes are made in China and Mexico but Zeiss continues to deal in the United States.
so...
If you had a model number (and year of manufacture) it might be possible to trace, I'm guessing you've not got the original instructions, because it should say there. On a technicality - it doesn't have to say "made in germany" anymore - it would just have markings for Europe.
