The Argelander Institute for Astronomy and the University Library at Bonn hold a large stock of archival material from the history of the Bonn Observatory, particularly by Friedrich Argelander (1799-1879), Julius Schmidt (1825-1884), Eduard Schönfeld (1828- 1891) and Friedrich Küstner (1856-1936). Most of the documents are observing logs and manuscripts, a smaller part comprises correspondence. A rough overview of the holdings is given with special emphasis on the Schönfeld papers. Their history and the first attempts to work with the letters, especially by Hilmar Duerbeck and Gisela Münzel, are described.
