Haenel from Germany, Rössler from Austria, Heym from Germany and Strasser from somewhere...
Haenel was one of the Suhl gunmakers, made pistols and rifles. You hear very little about their products, they have been defunct AFAIK for many years now. Like many European gunmakers, they also marketed air rifles.

Heym is a very well-known gunmaker, make double rifles, single shots, and bolt action rifles the hand-crafted way like Holland & Holland and other custom rifle makers. Prices are not for the WalMart shoppers group.

Rossler makes hunting rifles, very modular (replaceable triggers and stock assemblies) and quick-change switch barrels (something that has proven to not be popular in the US). While not in the same price category as Heym rifles, they are nonetheless somewhat pricey when compared to US-made firearms.

Strasser is also from Austria, and makes rifles of a similar type to Rossler, quick-change switch barrel rifles for hunters.
