Paul Siebertz
The Photo Collection of Paul Siebertz
Albania in 1909
The German journalist and author, Paul Siebertz (1877-1954), was editor-in-chief of Das Vaterland (The Fatherland),
“newspaper for the Austrian monarchy” published in Vienna from 1907-1911, and was the author of a number of
book publications. In 1909, he undertook a trip through the mountains of northern Albania and soon thereafter
published the volume Albanien und die Albanesen: Landschafts- und Charakterbilder (Albania and the Albanians:
Landscape and Character Pictures), Vienna 1910, from which the present photo collection is taken. Most of his
pictures, probably all of them, were taken from other sources.
