Oppenheim, F. August (born in Dresden, active in Spain, Greece and Southern Germany 1850s)
 
Oppenheim was one of the first German photographers to work with the calotype process. He learned the process with Gustave Le Gray and already used it in 1852 while in Spain. One year later he photographed the Acropolis and circa 1858/59 he worked in Regensburg, where he made a series of the cathedral and the St. Jakob church.
