Life

Emy Limpert, real name Emilie Limpert, can be verified as a freelance photographer from 1920. The handicrafts register of the Chamber of Crafts in Frankfurt am Main from 1930 contains the first entry of their business premises at Holzgraben 26. A few years later, the City of Frankfurt's Fashion Office was founded, for which Emy Limpert carried out numerous orders. Among other things, she traveled to Florence on behalf of this office . Emy Limpert was one of the nine people who created almost all of the pictures for the silver mirror .

Both her apartment and her archive were bombed during World War II . In 1944 she moved to Bad Nauheim, where she took many pictures of the bathing facilities, and in 1946 the facility at Holzgraben 26 was deleted from the trade register.

The Frankfurt Historical Museum , the Lipperheidesche Costume Library and Luise Kreiling-Stern, who worked at the Institute for Fashion Creation, kept pictures that Limpert created for the Frankfurt Fashion Office. Many of her photographs can also be found in printed publications.
