Last year, the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek had taken over the enormous analogue STERN Photo Archive with 15 million photographs and complements this most outstanding documentation of the second half of the twentieth century in photographs with Hentschel's impressive testimony of the times. The complete photo archive is intended to be available to the public in digital form in the future.
