Minerva Tonfilm

Minerva Tonfilm (German: Minerva-Tonfilm) was a German film production company active during the 1930s.[1] Founded in 1934 by the film producer Curt Prickler amongst others, it functioned as an independent production outfit. Minerva shot its films in a variety of Berlin studios and they were distributed by Terra Film or Tobis Film. Included in these were propaganda films reflecting Nazi Party ideology such as Togger (1937).[2] It ultimately ceased production in 1939. This took place against the backdrop of the growing centralisation of German film production under the direction of the Reich Film Chamber and the Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels.[3]
