Collection 106.07 - Photos and clichés

The paper photos come from the holdings of the German East Asia Mission (cf. Abt. 180.01.). They're partially listed. In connection with the digitization project of the glass slides, Annette Bügener compared the photos with the slides and created a concordance as well as a temporary handwritten distortion. The clichés and albums with cliché prints were handed over to the Central Archives in March 2003 by the President of the Swiss East Asia Mission, Father Harald Greve, together with numerous other documents. Their distribution can be found in the foreword to Section 180.2 of the index. In the spring of 2004, Gabriele Stüber and Christine Lauer processed this pictorial tradition, taking into account the existing situation of the DOAM and SOAM, respectively, and destroyed the clichés, as random samples showed that the pictorial motifs had been published and that albums with cliché impressions had also been handed down (cf. albums 1 and 2). Insofar as cliché impressions were present in the clichés themselves, these were kept and assigned to the department 180.17 (photos SOAM). the approx. 70 glass slides, which were also given to the central archive with this delivery, were assigned to the already existing stock 180.06., since some duplicates were found here and the SOAM reference does not become clear. This collection was given access in February 2017 by the Korean photos of retired priest Gerhard Fritz, Landau. They have been incorporated into the classification "Korea" and are only available in digital form (serial no. 986-1167). Pastor Fritz writes: "For almost three decades, through my relations with South Korea, I have been able to gain an impression of the developments in this country and of its people. In the 1970s, my work as an Asia adviser in the umbrella organization of the Evangelisches Missionswerk in Hamburg (1972 - 1980) made it possible to maintain intensive contact with some churches and groups in Korea and to support them in various ways with other organizations in view of the repression in the country. From the 1980s onwards, relations were established in the Evangelical Church of the Palatinate, in particular with one of the large churches in South Korea, and finally a partnership with the Presbyterian Church in Korea (PCK) was agreed. As a pastor for world mission and ecumenism (1980 - 2001), I was able to shape the partnership relations, especially through regular exchange programs of groups and individuals. In deepening relations, ecumenical staff from South Korea have made an important contribution to our church. The recordings are from visits and encounters over the three decades, few from a visit in 2008. Most of them are my own recordings. I am aware that the series of pictures with the texts can only partially and selectively represent the complex and multi-layered reality of a country like Korea. The photos made available by Father Fritz were incorporated into the collection with the explanatory texts he had formulated. Further information can be found in the current issue no. 1168, the register of registered units was printed in January 2018, Gabriele StüberChristine LauerStand: January 2018
