The photographic department collected, produced and reproduced images for presentations and publications about the city and the work of the city administration. The city archive had around 4500 glass plates from the extensive collection digitized in high quality. They show construction projects, social institutions and the city's own advertising from five decades (1900-1955). Only in a few cases is it known who took the photographs. The photos have a documentary character, but also tell of the attitude to life at the time they were taken. Of particular interest are the "before and after" shots, which capture changes in the cityscape.
