 | | Ernst Heinkel (1888-1958) began his engineering career as a designer with the Johannisthal aviation company and later worked for the Albatros Works, the Hansa- and Brandenburg Aircraft Works and the Caspar Works. |
 | | The materials acquired from son Karl-Ernst Heinkel are from Ernst Heinkel's private and business papers, including correspondence with the Third Reich's Aviation Ministry (1938-44) and the Heinkel offices in Berlin (1927-44) as well as biographical documents, drafts of the biography of Heinkel entitled "Stormy Life" and legal papers in connection with the de-nazification process. |
 | | In total, the Heinkel archive has a length of about 35 meters, which makes it clear that much has been lost, in particular the company photographic archive, which encompassed over 1 million photographs but was removed to Austria during the war and then vanished. |
