For the transport and matching of electrons generated by a Laser Wakefield Accelerator (LWFA) a beam transport system with strong focusing magnets and a compact design is required. For the realization of such a beam transport system at the LWFA in Jena, Germany, two small series of inexpensive, modular quadrupoles were designed and built. The quadrupoles are iron-dominated electromagnets in order to keep the transport system adaptable to different energies and target parameters. To achieve the required field strength it was necessary to choose a small magnetic aperture. Therefore the magnets were designed for in-vacuum use with water-cooled coils. In this contribution the design, the realization and first field measurements of these quadrupoles are presented.
