On 26 March 1880 the Embellishment Association was founded in the Hotel Wülker in Lemgo. The committee representing the association consisted of Captain van Santen, senior teacher Uhlmeyer and Wilhelm Schacht. Reason for the foundation of the association could have been the demolition of the rain gate and thus the last city gate in 1878. The aim of the association was to protect the recreational landscape from destruction and damage. Hiking trails have been set up and maintained and benches have been set up. The building of the observation tower with a forest tavern on the Spiegelberg probably also goes back to the Verschönerungsverein. The association will also have worked for the preservation of the former fortified areas and their development into a promenade. In 1910 Fritz Eldagsen was chairman of the "Verschönerungsverein", a beautification association which now increasingly devoted itself to the protection of birds. Sometime in the 1920s the association will have dissolved. The splinter of the association reached the city archive in 2011. References documents to the association also in A 6186 (1882).

Inventory history The inventory was originally formed from accesses that were handed over privately to the city archives. Each access was recorded by hand and chronologically in a book and provided with a signature (serial number). In addition, the accesses were recorded in an alphabetical register. In a later phase, this inventory was partially dissolved by combining documents to form an inventory (see NL and V inventories). The remaining part of the collection was transferred to a thematic structure (see Word document 47/11/02/S-Bestand/Gliederung Sammlungsbestand) and provided with the letter "K" (presumably for cardboard). After 2005, a further collection "KLE" (Small Acquisitions) was formed, which also included additions of private provenance. In addition, work has begun on registering the former holdings S and K in Augias. The units recorded in this way now received an S-signature again. In 2011, the separation into the holdings S (the part recorded in Augias up to this point), K and KLE was lifted and all three parts were transferred back into the current holdings S - Collection (Small Acquisitions). The collection of parts of the Augias collection still in the K inventory was successively continued. The old signatures were also recorded. In May 2013, the entire stock was recorded in Augias. The former M inventory (oversizes) is partially represented here by corresponding M signatures. Content Of interest are certainly the early modern and modern books of accounts, businessmen's and business books in the inventory, the tradition to the Lemgoer associations (which do not justify an independent inventory) and the personal and family history documents. In addition, there is also material on schools, the Nazi era, the military, Jews, cemeteries, local districts, etc. The holdings contain several VZE, which are available in oversize format and are stored in the green plan cabinet in the attic Süsterhaus as part of the former M or E holdings.

The picture archive of the two Lemgo master photographers Fritz Ernst Ohle (1881 - 1962) and Karl Ernst Ohle (1917 - 1982) was transferred to the city archive as a deposit (reservation of title) of the association Alt Lemgo e. V. in 2013. The picture archive was sold in 1989 to the Lemgo entrepreneur Gerhard Mische, who donated the photo collection to the Alt Lemgo association in 2002. The stock consists of glass plate negatives, b/w photo prints on cardboard, photo albums (b/w), negatives (b/w and color), slides (b/w and color) as well as loose or framed photo prints (b/w and color). In the archive database, the glass plate negatives and some of the photo prints on cardboard have been indexed so far. When the picture archive was handed over, digital photos of the glass plate negatives and some of the photo prints were also delivered on cardboard, which are stored as thumbnails in the archive database and can be viewed in the reading room of the city archive via the archive database. For the remaining photo material there are partly handwritten lists, which were made by Mr. Hartmut Walter of the association Alt Lemgo. The rest is not further developed and has only partial inscriptions. The old finding aids for the glass plate negatives and the photo prints on cardboard are available for inspection in the reading room of the City Archive. Your details have been included in the archive database. In addition, B/W printouts of the digital copies can be viewed in the reading room according to the sequence of signatures. The order signatures of the stock consist of an abbreviation and a sequential number. The abbreviations shall be broken down as follows: FAK = Photo prints on cardboard GPK = Glass plates GPG = Glass plates Contents mainly photographs of houses, streets, people and events in Lemgo from the end of the 19th century to the 1960s. In the case of publications of photos from the stock, the following shall be cited: StaL N 9 Depositum Ohle (Association Alt Lemgo/Mischen) signature. Some of the glass plate negatives from the picture collection have been owned by the Westfälisches Amt für Denkmalpflege since 1979. Prints of these negatives can be found in the photo collection N 1 of the city archive.
