Siegmund Labisch ( July 30, 1863 in Samter , Posen district - December 7, 1942 in the Theresienstadt concentration camp ) was a businessman, photographer and co-founder of the photo agency Zander & Labisch .

Life

In 1895, together with the engineer and photographer Albert Zander, he founded the Zander & Labisch Illustrations-Photographen agency in Berlin, which was the first of its kind to focus on the production and distribution of press photographs. This enabled her to place a tenth of all photographs published in the Berliner Illustrirten Zeitung in 1897 . Albert Zander died of poisoning on August 12, 1897. After Zander's death, Siegmund Labisch became the sole owner of the photo agency.

Under the temporary name of Zander & Labisch Neue Photographische Gesellschaft AG , the studio was initially located at Leipziger Strasse 105 from 1896 to 1897 , and from 1897 to 1900 at Mohrenstrasse 19 . With the changing addresses (including Leipziger Straße 115/16 ), the agency existed until it was deleted from the commercial register in 1939. From 1938, Labisch itself was no longer listed in official lists of residents .

On September 14, 1942, Siegmund Labisch was deported to Theresienstadt , where he died on December 7 of the same year.
