Filmmuseum Berlin Im Filmhaus

This place officially opened in February 1963. Its founding director was Gerhard Lamprecht, who for decades had meticulously compiled an extensive collection of movies, documents and equipment. The City of Berlin acquired this collection and then handed it over to a new institution for its preservation and use. Since its inception, the Cinematheque Deutsche has indexed everything about film history and technology, movies and, to some extent, television.
