Handwritten documents

Numerous archival documents exist in the handwriting of Thomas Mann and not in transcription or publication. In preparation for your visit to the archives, it is recommended that you familiarise yourself with the manuscript of "Joseph in Egypt" (3rd volume of "Joseph and his brothers").

Photographs

Copyright-free photographs can be researched online in the catalogue of the Thomas Mann Archive on the E-Pics platform and downloaded free of charge. Photographs with current copyrights can only be researched and viewed in the reading room of the archive.
