Besides the famous Amsterdam painter, there also used to be an interesting German photo studio called Atelier Rembrandt. Under this name, the photographers Else and Alfred Cohn created the stills for stage productions and some classic German silent films of the 1910s and 1920s. Their star portraits are likewise exquisite and were reproduced on many film star postcards at the time. Atelier Rembrandt was located at Brückenstrasse 6 b, near the Jannowitzbrücke in Berlin and was active between 1911 and 1936
