This photograph appears to have been taken in the carpentry workshop of IIT Madras, owing to the wooden blocks placed on the table.
Baron von Mirbach visited IIT Madras a few months after the Second Indo-German agreement was signed in New Delhi. The signing of the agreement kicked off the establishment of 5 laboratories. It also made provisions to complete the 20 laboratories which were in progress. The agreement was an effort to further the development of IIT Madras through a collaboration between India and Germany.
In the photograph, from left, Mr. Baron von Mirbach (Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany), Prof. F. W. Lohr (Mechanical Engineering Department, yet to be confirmed) and Mr. H. J. Ebert (Expert Workshop Staff Member).
