history

The sheet of the motor car . Automobile and aviation technology magazine announced for the first time in its 1921 year of the " Flugphoto-Verlag Hans Biberger " founded by the merchant of the same name with its headquarters in Munich's Sonnenstrasse 12, at the time . In the same year the journal Natur reported. Illustrated bi-monthly publication for all nature lovers about the “valuable material in aerial photographs” from the “Flugphoto-Verlagsgesellschaft” operating at Sonnenstrasse 12. This “ systematically recorded the localities of southern Bavaria ”, with the resulting image material “characterized by the beauty of execution, richness and diversity”.

At the beginning of the Weimar Republic , for example, Flugphoto Verlags-Gesellschaft, operating under the same address, published a series of “Airplane Photos of Traunstein ”, which were numbered 502 to 506 as a series. According to the Traunsteiner Tagblatt , the publisher published similar aerial photographs for numerous locations.

The publishing company had its “flight postcards” protected by the Deutsche Reichsklrauchsmuster ( DRGM ) number 699 468 , usually printed on the lapel of its postcards.

On the address side of the postcards, instead of the postage stamp to be stuck on, an abstract plane “holding his camera out of the plane” was pre-printed.

While the unsigned and undated aerial photographs could not yet be assigned to a specific photographer, the same original photographs have been preserved as postcards for the purpose of reproduction. Only further research and comparisons with similar aerial photographs suggested authorship around the year 1920 and around the fighter pilot Johann "Hans" Czermak (1896–1928). The aerial photos from Traunstein from this time were still used as postcards in 1935 and therefore over a period of around one and a half decades.
