Marcellus Schiffer. Drawings
The artistic bequest of Marcellus Schiffer includes manuscripts of his books of song lyrics for the cabaret shows by Mischa Spoliansky and Friedrich Hollaender and numerous song texts, sketches and scene texts for the cabaret of the 1920s. For Paul Hindemith, Schiffer wrote the libretto for his opera Neues vom Tage, which has been preserved in the archive. Numerous draft manuscripts for novels and stories have also been passed down. The archive is heavily intertwined with that of his wife, diseuse Margo Lion, whose artistic legacy is also part of the joint Schiffer-Lion archive.
