Historischer Filmabend

In the organizer's words:

A highlight of the film program is the historical film evening of the Krupp Historical Archive, which has been extended to two dates due to its great success.

The Krupp Historical Archive, founded in 1905, has a rich film collection that is one of the most important German collections of industrial films. As early as 1913, the company Fried. Krupp AG established a cinematography department that produced films for its own purposes and for external clients. External producers were also commissioned. Today, the collection comprises around 650 titles on 5,500 reels. The oldest films date from the 1920s. However, some strips contain short excerpts from even earlier productions. The earliest and most remarkable of these film documents shows Kaiser Wilhelm II in the funeral procession at the funeral of Friedrich Alfred Krupp on November 26, 1902 and is considered to be the oldest surviving film document of the Ruhr region.

On September 22, the focus will be on the Krupp company: product and industrial films will provide fascinating insights into the company's activities in the 20th century. Events such as trade fairs and aspects such as social affairs will be highlighted with the help of the rich film material.
