Notes: Checklist incomplete. UFA, which stands for Universum Film Aktiengesellschaft, were not just producers and distributors of films, but also creators of film cards. Title not mentioned on cards, so the generic "UFA Filmbilder" has been created for them. No album planned or issued. These 18 series, which came out in around 1925-26, were split up as follows:

The first 3 series depict 1) actresses, 2) actors and 3) film directors. All remaining series show UFA film scenes, with each series dedicated to a single film, which includes such classics as "Metropolis" and "Faust". See also a separate entry on the UFA film "SOS Eisberg".
