As most of you know, I grew up in Vienna, Austria but live in the US
since a very long time. I also did collect the Film Kurier for a very
long time. The Film Kurier in Grey's auction is made by an Austrian
company based in Vienna, Austria. I am not certain if this specific
title was also sold in Germany because of the following. The selling
price for this program is listed/printed in Austrian Schilling
only...no mentioning of the German Mark...and the Film Releasing
Company is also listed only for the Austrian company...Verleih by
Universal for Oesterreich....translated is Released by Universal for
Austria...but remember Austria also speak German...Austria also
produced different film posters for a very long time..one of the
largest silent film poster collections is actually the Austrian
government owned Film Bibliothek in Vienna that produced one CD with
thousands of images in the 1990s....this collection also has the
largest collection of Metropolis posters...actually, the UFA Museum
collection in Berlin had one of the Metropolis posters from Vienna on
display in the past...not certain if they still have it on display or
if it was returned to
Vienna....http://plakatarchivaustria.onb.ac.at/Pages/Search/Result.aspx?p
_Mode=StartQuickSearch&p_sSearchToken=metropolis
and all their film poster collection is searchable on their
website....http://plakatarchivaustria.onb.ac.at/

hello everyone
I would really like one of our German or Austrian friends to give their
opinion about this.
Until Hitler annexed Austria in 1938 during the so-called Anschluss,
Austria was a separate country (as it again became, after the end of
World War II). Austria and Germany, in the 20s and the 30s, often made
different posters, and I definitely seen both Austrian and German
programs from the 30s for the same films, and the programs are not the
same.

Well, knowledge is knowledge and all of this is very useful for serious
collectors of film memorabilia, perhaps the most under-documented
areas of long time collectibles.
The programme is Austrian, and used in Germany. It's rather like a UK
international one sheet that is used in Australia, or a US
International one sheet that is used in Australia. It remains as
sourced from its country of origin as part of its descriptor.
The analogy of East German and West German material is certainly apt.
Particularly where design in East Germany was so dramatically different
before reunification.
I would think that accuracy in describing it would only widen its
potential audience of bidders and stand the auction house (any auction
house) in good stead. Surely part of the credibility of specialised
auction houses rests on their ability to present their items as
accurately as possible and absorb information for future listings.

Bruce,
The thing is that the Austrian programs measure a completely different
size from the German ones, so most people who collect these programs
want to know which country they are from, because of the size
difference. Of course, since you gave the size, anyone knowledgeable
would know that it is Austrian and not German, so I guess you don't
need to make the correction. It is kind of like how we distinguish
between East German posters and German posters, because they use to be
two completely different countries with completely different
governments. But some people would say they are both "Germany".

Hi Bruce:Thanks for checking out our auction!While this program was
printed in Vienna – every German website we have looked at says these
are German programs for use in Germany and Austria. So it seems this is
just a question of semantics. Film-Kurier was a journal for German
film professionals from
1919-1945:http://www.goethe.de/kue/flm/weg/weg/prk/wpk/enindex.htm This
is a translation from a German website:“Cooperation with the German
Cinematheque Foundation and funded by the Hamburg Foundation for the
Promotion of Science and Art is in by CineGraph (particularly by Peer
Moritz and Ingrid walking) the most important German film magazine,
Film-Kurier, the 1919-1945 daily published by an index developed. Für
die filmhistorische Forschung entsteht auf diese Weise ein einmaliges
Quellenwerk. For the film-historical research produced in this way, a
unique source material.” Translated page from German
