It consists of 460 photographs,<ref name=Topographie /> including 200 neatly labeled photos — some with cynical remarks — of the creation of the camp in 1936 and 1937. The photos also depict the concentration camp personnel, and prisoners as they arrive in normal clothing and later appear for roll call with their heads shaved and dressed in prisoner uniforms.<ref>{{cite news|title=Ausstellung in Sachsenhausen zeigt Fotos von der Entstehung des Lagers: Das Album des KZ-Kommandanten |url=https://www.berliner-zeitung.de/ausstellung-in-sachsenhausen-zeigt-fotos-von-der-entstehung-des-lagers-das-album-des-kz-kommandanten-li.6543 |newspaper=[[Berliner Zeitung]] |date= 26 August 2006 |language=de |access-date=2 October 2024}}</ref>
