About Topothek

The Topothek Leobersdorf is the market town's online archive for old photos, documents and memories from local history. It mainly collects material from private ownership, and everything is freely searchable online.

What is in the archive

• Pictures – by far the largest part, a good 11,800 entries
• Documents – around 240, for example invitations, posters and written records
• Objects – around 300 entries
• Videos, texts and audio – a smaller collection
• Unclassified – over 1,100 entries not yet assigned to any category

You can search by keyword, by date and via the map. A term such as a street or a building brings together all entries tagged with it. This also makes the Topothek interesting for family history research, because many people can be found by name.

Contribute your own photos

If you own photos of Leobersdorf or documents on family, school, youth, leisure, working life or clubs, you can contribute them to the archive. The original stays with the owner, as do all rights that go beyond the presentation in the Topothek.

Who is behind it

Peter Selb founded the Topothek in 2014 and has looked after it ever since. He has found a successor in Wolfgang Petermair, formerly a group leader of the Leobersdorf scouts. Both work together with the market town's cultural department. The platform itself is part of the network of Topotheks that exists in many municipalities in Austria and other European countries.
