Furniture factory display at the Munich Export Fair 1946
In a storage hall a craftsman examines a finished chest of drawers while nearby workers drag a heavy machine across the floor. The footage belongs to the Munich Export Fair of 1946, where Bavarian firms presented their goods to an international audience. The exhibition was one of the first attempts to reconnect the economy of the American occupation zone with world trade and earn urgently needed foreign currency for reconstruction. The furniture factory shown stood in for the many craft businesses struggling with materials, sales and sheer survival in the postwar years.
