Notes:
Prints?From time to time we receive requests for prints for private albums or for digital copies for private use. This involves effort for the authors. Please do not assume that the time or motivation for this is necessarily available. But it never hurts to ask.
Free of charge? No!
Requests for free use for school or other educational purposes must unfortunately be declined. Scanning the photos as well as editing and labeling the files is/was simply too time consuming to distribute them free of charge.
Social networks?
The use of our image material by third parties in social networks is prohibited.
The content on this website was originally written in German. Only later were longer articles
translated into English to reach a more global audience. Hopefully, the supporting AI didn’t
introduce too many errors in the process. For pages that primarily showcase images, however,
the additional effort of creating duplicate versions in two languages is hardly worthwhile.
