Filser archive
The Filser archive is named after Filser and consists of approx. 22,500 photo negatives . The archive began in 1889/90 with photographs by the Munich court photographer Carl Teufel, who began with studio photos , took approx. 7000 recordings of exhibits in the Bavarian National Museum from 1890 and took approx. 6000 miniatures and initials from the manuscripts of the Bavarian State Library from 1899 . In 1911, the Teufel archive went to the Riehn & Tietze publishing house, which expanded it to include Munich views, traditional costumes, animals and landscapes. In 1920 the Riehn & Reusch publishing house took over these recordings and sold them to Filser in 1925. The archive has been in the Foto Marburg picture archive since 1935 .
