One of the photographers at Mauritius Publishing based in Berlin was Karl Heinrich Lämmel. Born on 30 July 1910 in Riesa, Saxony, he has been missing since April 1945. In the thirties, Karl Heinrich Lämmel produced several photographic reports of cities, including Munich and Cologne. Photographs that have yet to be seen and appreciated.
