Menzel: BBBIn 1880 Otto Perutz founded the "Otto Perutz Trockenplattenfabrik" in Munich, which later became Perutz-Photowerke.
Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Munich was designed by German engraver and medalist, Otto Perutz. Perutz was known for his work on various coins and medals during the early 20th century, and his design for the 1 Pfennig coin features a stylized image of the Munich coat of arms, which includes a lion and a bear. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the city's strength and resilience.
