Business stationery (cover, with relevant advertising red meter) used by VEB Fotochemische Werke Berlin, a state enterprise manufacturing films and chemicals for photography. The factory occupied buildings and premises taken over from the former Kodak AG (Köpenick) company where DEKOPAN b/w films, x-ray films and chemicals were manufactured under Kodak brand name until mid-1960s. After political system transformation, the property was in 1992 returned to the rightful owner, the Eastman Kodak Company of Rochester (USA).
