Maurus (Mor) Wilhelm (Vilmos) Willinger (9 April 1879 – 29 January 1943) was an Austrian/Hungarian photographer who is best known for his portraits of actors of the early silent film era in Berlin.
From 1902 to 1918, he ran a photo agency in Berlin while maintaining a studio at Orczy út 8 in Pest.
He married Margarethe (who ran the darkroom)[2] and they had a son László Willinger (1909–1989) who also became a portrait photographer.
The Willinger & Schnapper company was located in Kärntnerstraße 28 in the First District of Vienna and remained at that address until 1938 when it was taken over by Adolf Hitler's photographer Heinrich Hoffmann.
[2] The photo archive was confiscated by the Gestapo soon after 13 March 1938 and apparently dispatched to the Reichspropagandamt [Reich Propaganda Agency] in Berlin later on.
