After a gruelling journey from the West coast of Greenland his frost-bitten toes needed to be amputated. Historical note: The German Greenland Expedition led by continental drift theorist, Alfred Wegener took place from July 1930 to August 1931. The expedition's aim was to study the upper air, snow and ice sheet at three stations placed on the West, middle and East of Greenland. When Wegener died on his journey from the central station to the West coast, Loewe became acting expedition leader. Inscription: Winterhaus Ende Mai 1931 Loewe auf dem (illegible).154619

They contain a large volume of correspondence, papers, reports, diaries, notes, reference lists, data, graphs, maps, and other assorted records. These series offer testimony to the private life and significant scientific work of Fritz Loewe, particularly his research on Greenland (including his experiences on the Wegener Expedition in 1929-1930) and Antarctica (including his experiences on the Wyatt Earp Expedition in 1947 and the French Scientific Expedition in 1950-1951). The majority of these publications are written in German with several other languages including English represented.
