Brief description: *1874 † 1957Franz Maria Feldhaus was considered one of the leading technical historians in the German-speaking world in the mid-1920s. He had distinguished himself by publishing a total of 52 monographs and more than 3,800 essays on technical and corporate history topics. In the course of his journalistic activities he created an alphabetical index of more than 71,000 index cards with about 8,000 keywords. At the same time, he kept a personal card index with around 24,000 cards. The use of the correspondence contained in the Feldhaus estate for technical-historical research has so far only been possible with the help of the described indexes in an extremely limited and elaborate form. All relevant contents of the subject and person index, which refer to the files, were digitised and put online as a finding aid by means of a funding project in order to make the holdings accessible to scientific and non-scientific users. The collection was taken over by the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz as a permanent loan in 1988.
