University of Freiburg receives Pink Floyd collection

The collection comes from Rolf Ossenberg. For example, it includes around 300 books in various languages that deal with the band. No less important are the reports from newspapers, journals and magazines collected in 27 files, as well as audiovisual sources, writes the University of Freiburg. The latter are represented in the collection in the form of more than 500 video cassettes, which include recordings of television appearances and concerts by the band. The collection is rounded off by audio recordings, DVDs, press photographs, flyers, posters, merchandise, autographs and concert tickets.

The Pink Floyd collection is the second large fan collection of a major British rock band to be researched at the ZPKM: in 2017, the center had already received the Reinhold Karpp Rolling Stones Collection on permanent loan.
