Helmut Schmidt-Archiv

Folders, books, photo albums and an extensive collection of dossiers: the Helmut Schmidt-Archiv contains all of this. The wide range of documents not only provides a very personal insight into Helmut Schmidt's interests and main topics, the estate also reflects the political discourse of the time. The files are open to academic research - here you will find an overview about the background and how you can gain access to the files.
