The color photos are originals that the professional photographers took back then with a lot of effort, pretty models and even more beautiful cars. Over the past 20 years, Peter Kurze has been able to acquire the estates of several photographers with a total of almost 150,000 photos and negatives. Today, the photos in his archive are well organized. They mainly show cars from the German car manufacturers of the 1950s and 1960s. Peter Kurze has published various books that reflect the flair of the rebuilding period in West Germany.
For 2019, photographs were unearthed from the archive, which are a colorful reminder of the economic miracle era.
