Paintings and drawings
The archive’s collections contain a number of paintings closely associated with the early redevelopment, some of which depict the original architecture or the street during the rebuilding phase.
The paintings by Ernst Müller-Scheessel and Theodor Herrmann relating to the architectural history were not directly commissioned by Roselius but were certainly admired and purchased by him.
