1936 is much too late to claim this to be PD-old, the author could well have been alive past 1942. Also, in the US this would still be protected until 2031 or so. Rosenzweig τ 16:15, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
Comment We don't know anything about the author. If there is really no chance to find out who took this picture, it seems to be an anonymous work. (={{Anonymous-EU}}). In this case,

- For a pre-1995 German image, German law says that for it to be anonymous in a legal sense, the author must never have been mentioned anywhere, not even by telling his name (without writing it) in a public lecture or such. There is no way to prove this, so the German law for pre-1995 anonymous works (see de:Anonymes Werk (Urheberrecht)) is useless for Commons and Wikipedia, we simply cannot apply it. --Rosenzweig τ 19:14, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
