In our titel "Farvis TV-Museum Pfungstadt" you can recognize that this website represents two groups: Farvis (community of German TV-history) and the TV museum Pfungstadt with main focus on the "Fernseh GmbH Darmstadt".


Farvis

Farvis has been founded 2003 in Pfungstadt. Developed by a group of TV interested people, which have already organized several exhibitions in Pfungstadt, Darmstadt, Reinheim, Gernsheim, Groß-Gerau, Aschaffenburg and the last in 2006 in Kronach together with the company Loewe.
