Description:
The archive of the Geography Department preserves and catalogues historic documents concerning the history of the department and its members. For the most part these consist of unpublished materials such as letters, diaries or photographs.
The largest collections in the archive are the (partial) estates of the geographers and former heads of department Alfred Philippson and Carl Troll. The catalogues of these papers can be accessed online. The archive also has documents relating to Hans Günther Gewehr, Ernst Schmidt-Kraepelin (in particular on aerial photographs) and Rudolf Stickel. Some material arising from departmental business is also preserved, e.g. general correspondence 1957-1975, course material and Diplom examination regulations.
Part of the archive consists of the augmented papers (partial) of A. Philippson (1864-1953). The rest of the collection is made up of the private, business and scientific papers of C. Troll (1899-1975) and numerous partial collections of papers from personalities such as A. Rühl, R. Stickel, F. v. Richthofen, K. Wien, R. Schottenloher, P. Fickeler and E. Schmidt-Kraepeli.
