Germany’s museum‑digitisation museum digitisation programme kept expanding through late July 2026. Earlier entries Recent uploads include a 1944 WWII Kennkarte belonging to Elfriede Sekuly from Upper Silesia, a silver Goethe‑Denkmünze (the first medal minted 1775‑78), a 1868‑71 photograph of Berlin’s former Royal Mint building, a modest metal crucifix, and a glazed stoneware tile with a late‑19th‑century leaf motif from the Sinziger factory. The Museum für Sepulkralkultur added a carved wooden sculpture of Hel, the Norse ruler of the dead, while Museum Schloss Lichtenburg contributed a mid‑20th‑century nude oil painting by H. Radomski. These entries join earlier digitised objects such as a bronze medal of Friedrich Schiller, a copper engraving of a Berlin street corner, a porcelain Christmas bowl, an iron spring latch and latch, 19th‑century stained‑glass fragments. On 22 July the Rhein‑Kreis Neuss portal published the fragments, a Preismünze bronze medal commissioned by the Landwirtschaftskammer Rheinland, and the Landesgeschichtliche Vereinigung added medal, a 1910 view card of the Kletzke village church interior. On 24 July the German Military History Photo Archive contributed interior, a portrait of an unnamed army junior officer candidate from the Heeresunteroffiziersschule in Wehrkreis VII, showing the soldier in a field‑grey uniform alongside a woman presumed to be a relative. The same day candidate, high‑resolution viewcards of the Guben City Museum added a high‑resolution viewcard of its 1913 building and the adjacent historic Werder Tower. Also on 24 July, the Museum‑Digital platform uploaded three further photographs: Tower, photographs of a young mountain‑infantry trainee in early‑20th‑century uniform with Edelweiß insignia (and a possible Hitler Youth badge), a fragment of trainee, a 1954 Küßner’s tomato‑soup‑with‑fat packet used by a camping couple on the Mecklenburg lakes, and tomato‑soup packet, an early‑communion portrait of a girl from around 1918‑1922 with candle and ritual accessories. On 25 July the Stadtmuseum Simeonstift Trier added a digital record of portrait, a hand‑crafted 17th–18th‑century 17th‑18th‑century iron lock with a richly decorated brass front plate, describing its dual‑mechanism latch lock, and dimensions. The same day Museum Schloss Lichtenburg uploaded a 1985 linocut portrait of Johann Sebastian Bach, noting its signature, stark light‑dark contrast and size. Bach.
