Scope and Content of Collection
The archive documents Albert Renger-Patzsch's professional life and provides detailed information about his business-related
activities, especially his work on book projects and private commissions for industrial firms. It also allows insight into
his artistic views on photography and the technical details of his photographic workshop. A small portion of the archive consists
of personal documents and family correspondence. Almost all items are in German; most are typescripts, or carbon copies of
typescripts, especially letters by Albert Renger-Patzsch. Relatively few are in old German handwriting.
The main portion of the archive consists of post-war correspondence between Renger-Patzsch and numerous institutions, industrial
firms, and individual correspondents. A relatively small part of the correspondence dates from the time before the war. Set
apart is the predominantly business-related correspondence of Renger-Patzsch's widow Agnes and his son Ernst, and the personal
correspondence of Albert Renger-Patzsch, mainly letters from his mother Frieda and other relatives. Two separate groups of
correspondence are organized by topic.
Another significant portion of the archive presents ca. 30 drafts of mostly unpublished lectures and articles about photography
by Albert Renger-Patzsch.
A large number of ephemeral publications, newspaper clippings and offprints related to Albert Renger-Patzsch provides information
about the scope and reception of his photographic work before and after the war, his book projects, exhibitions, and other
professional activities. Also included are a small number of personal documents related to Albert Renger-Patzsch and his family,
a few portrait photographs taken by his daughter Sabine, poems by unknown authors, and business-related bills and receipts.
The archive includes several drafts of book texts by other authors: both texts about Renger-Patzsch and texts written to
accompany Renger-Patzsch's books of photographs. Also in the archive are drafts of texts unrelated to Albert Renger-Patzsch,
including 9 unpublished texts by the German ecologist Hugo Hertwig.
Arrangement
The papers are organized in 9 series:
Series I. Correspondence, 1924-1966;
Series II. Family and personal correspondence, 1924-1977;
Series III. Correspondence by topic,1952-1967;
Series IV. Writings by Albert Renger-Patzsch, 1954-1958,undated;
Series V. Ephemera, 1927-1980;
Series VI. Personal papers, 1890-1974;

Biographical / Historial Note
The German photographer Albert Renger-Patzsch (1897 -1966) was born in Würzburg, Bavaria, and died in Wamel near Soest, Westphalia.
Son of amateur photographer Robert Renger-Patzsch, he learned the techniques of photography early. Following primary education
in Sondeshausen in Thuringia, Albert Renger-Patzsch attended the renowned Kreuzgymnasium in Dresden. After service in the
German Army between 1916 and 1918, he studied chemistry at the Technische Hochschule in Dresden from 1919 to 1921.
His professional career as a photographer began in the early 1920s at the Folkwang Verlag in Essen, and at the Folkwang and
Auriga Archiv in Hagen, where he was the head of photographic services. In 1923, he served as head of a photographic service
agency in Berlin. In that same year, he married Agnes von Braunschweig and moved briefly to Kronstadt (Brasov) in Romania.
His daughter Sabine was born in 1924, his son Ernst Normann in 1926. In 1924 Renger-Patzsch returned briefly to Darmstadt
to work at the Auriga Verlag, the successor of the Folkwang Verlag. In 1925 he left the Auriga Verlag to become a freelance
photographer, joined the Deutscher Werkbund, and moved with his family to Bad Harzburg, near Braunschweig. His first exhibition
was mounted in his studio.
Between 1924 and 1937, Renger-Patzsch collaborated on several book projects, including the series
Die Welt der Pflanze, conceived by Ernst Fuhrmann (volumes
Crassula and
Orchideen, both 1924). Other project partners included Rudolf Schwarz (
Wegweisung der Technik, 1928), Carl Georg Heise (
Lübeck, 1928), and the Auriga Verlag (
Das Chorgestühl von Kappenberg, 1925). His influential book
Die Welt ist schön appeared in 1928, published by Kurt Wolff Verlag in Munich; the Einhorn Verlag edition followed in the same year. In 1927,
Carl Georg Heise organized an exhibition of Renger-Patzsch's photographic work at the Behnhaus in Lübeck. In 1928, Renger-Patzsch
participated in the exhibition
Kunst und Technik at the Museum Folkwang in Essen; he also held two individual exhibitions, one at the Kunstgewerbemuseum in Zurich and another
at the Grafisches Kabinett in Munich.
In 1929 Renger-Patzsch moved with his family to Essen, where he had a studio and office at the Museum Folkwang. During this
time he worked intensively with the industrial architect Fritz Schupp, and made architectural photographs for the architect
and director of the Kunstgewerbeschule Aachen, Rudolf Schwarz. The first retrospective exhibition of his work took place in
1931 at the Museum Folkwang in Essen. His industrial photographs, published in the book
Eisen und Stahl (1931), won a silver medal at the Milan Triennale in 1933. During 1933, Renger-Patzsch lectured at the Folkwang School in
Essen, and took over the chair of photography from Max Burchartz.
Between 1938 and 1940, Renger-Patzsch received his first commissions from the chemical concern C. H. Boehringer Sohn in Ingelheim:
Hospitalbauten in Europa aus zehn Jahrhunderten (first issued in 1967), a book about hospital buildings in Europe with text by Dankwart Leistikow, and
Historische Apotheken Deutschlands (year of issue unknown), a book about historical pharmacies. During the years 1941 to 1944, Renger-Patzsch worked on the
book projects
Paderborn (first issued in 1949) and
Land am Oberrhein (appearing in 1944 in small edition). In 1943, he was commissioned by the Todt Organization to take pictures of the Western
defences of the German forces in Normandy and Brittany. A large part of Renger-Patzsch's archive in the Museum Folkwang was
destroyed during an air raid on Essen in 1944. Shortly afterwards Renger-Patzsch moved with his family to Wamel on the Möhnesee,
near Soest, where he lived for the remainder of his life.
Beständinge Welt, a small volume with landscape photographs with text by Helene Henze, initiated his post-war work in 1947. The year 1949
marked the start of long-term commission work for the firm Schubert & Salzer, a spinning machine manufacturer in Ingolstadt,
as well as the continuation of work begun in 1932 for the glass manufacturer Jenaer Glaswerk Schott & Gen., and the firm C.
H. Boehringer Sohn in Ingelheim. He also undertook commissions for the architects Fritz Schupp in Essen and Hans Schwippert
in Düsseldorf. The Siepman Werke in Belecke commissioned Renger-Patzsch to produce two publications:
Bilder aus der Landschaft zwischen Ruhr und Möhne (1957) and
Bauten zwischen Ruhr und Möhne (1959). During the 1950s and 1960s Renger-Patzsch collaborated with the publisher Mocker & Jahn in Soest on the book projects
Schloss Cappenberg (1953) and
Soest (1963); he received commissions from numerous industrial companies in Germany. He also traveled throughout Europe, with several
trips to Italy for the book project
Hohenstaufenburgen in Süditalien (1961). This book, with text by Hanno Hahn, was commissioned by the firm C. H. Boehringer Sohn, which also commissioned the
books
Bäume (1962) and
Gestein (1966), both with text by Ernst Jünger. A professional relationship developed between Renger-Patzsch and the German dendrologist
Wolfgang Haber, who accompanied Renger-Patzsch on his trips to Italy and wrote texts for
Im Wald (1965) and
Bäume.
During the postwar years Renger-Patsch lectured on photography throughout Germany. His photographic work was recognized and
awarded. In 1957, the Gesellschaft Deutscher Lichtbildner honored Renger-Patzsch with the David Octavius Hill Medal. In 1960,
he received the prestigious culture prize of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Photographie. In 1961, he received a gold medal
from the Photographische Gesellschaft Wien for his life's work. In 1963, the television station Westdeutscher Rundfunk in
Cologne broadcast the documentary
Portrait of the Photographer Albert Renger-Patzsch. In 1965, the Minister of Culture awarded to Renger-Patzsch the North Rhine-Westphalia state prize for artistic achievement.
Also in 1965, the German photographer Lotte Jacobi showed Renger-Patzsch's photographs in her gallery in Deering, New Hampshire,
and the Art Institute of Chicago included his works in its annual photography exhibition.
Albert Renger-Patzsch died on September 27, 1966 in Wamel. In December of that year, a memorial exhibition was mounted in
the Ruhrland- und Heimatmuseum in Essen. In 1970 and 1971, commemorative exhibitions were held in Bremen and Hamburg.
