Matriculation books

In 1905 the member Hans Brendicke wrote a register of all members with first and last name, status, occupation, date of entry and club sponsor. According to an association publication, there must also have been a second matriculation book. Both have been missing since 1945.

Register card

Since the membership registers appeared at irregular intervals, after 1945 even at very long intervals, many members are not mentioned in any official directory. The club's writer Martin Mende maintains his own matriculation index.

Photo albums

The association owns three photo albums of the members created by Ernst Fidicin in the first decade of the association (1865–1875) . These albums were evaluated by member Sibylle Einholz as part of the research project " Berlin Photography Studios in the 19th Century ".
