The Bequest The work-related documents and objects from Curd Jürgens’ estate came into the conservational care of the Deutsches Filmmuseum fifteen years after his death. They are recorded in full in a detailed inventory and are available for further scholarly evaluation. (...) Sifting, putting in order, cataloguing and describing – archiving a bequest is also a quest. A great many connections came to light in the course of the work: the evaluation of the substantial press material delivered significant leads; much which had remained hidden for a long time. Photographs, records and private documents reveal new facets, shed light on the star and the private Curd Jürgens from an unusual perspective, in many cases they document what is already known. The materials under discussion, which are presented in this virtual exhibition for the first time online, and so achieving accessibility worldwide, permit a highly personal glimpse into the public and private life of the film star and illustrates the stations of his career. All the materials of the bequest that are presented in this virtual exhibition in digital form can be viewed in our Frankfurt archive.
