The series of 25 pictures in the format 6 x 6 cm depicts the chronology of the deportation of about 420 people from the district of Bielefeld. The photos were taken at three different locations: inside the "Kyffhäuser” inn, which served as an assembly camp; in front of the entrance during the pick-up and loading of luggage; and at the customs shed and on the platform of Bielefeld's main train station. The pictures of the train show deportees from the city of Münster and the surrounding area leaning out of the windows. The square prints are included in the 1941 Bielefeld War Chronicle, as are 15 enlargements of those images that were most telling in the eyes of the photographer. The comments written on the back of the pictures by the photographer were transcribed onto the pages of the chronicle with only one change: the inscription "to Riga" on the back of the first picture was replaced by the words "towards the east."

The director of Stadtmuseum Bielefeld, Dr. Eduard Schoneweg, was responsible for compiling the city’s chronicle. He commissioned Georg Hübner to make a photographic record of the first deportation of Jews from Bielefeld. Schoneweg refused to hand over the war chronicle to the city of Bielefeld until 1948. In the course of investigations leading to the Bielefeld "Gestapo Trial" in 1961, the picture series was used and reproduced twice. These copies are now kept in the Bundesarchiv (Federal Archives) and the Landesarchiv (State Archives) of North Rhine-Westphalia. The original is preserved in Stadtarchiv Bielefeld.
