I'm still looking for "Eine aufregende Jagd" ("An Exciting Hunt"), about a rich girl getting her clothes stolen while skinny dipping. There used to be some parts of it on youtube but it's long gone.

I checked out Magos' link to the films you were looking for, and not only did it link me to those films, but a host of classic Pre-Code films that I will be checking out over the Xmas period. Thanks for that, Magos.
As to the film you mentioned, krashcdm, (Eine aufregende Jagd - aka An Exciting Hunt from 1908), I thought I might as well upload the video here so that others can check it out on here. I have included screenshots, and although I did try checking who the actress was in the film, sadly that sort of info is unavailable for these sort of films. The plot (such as it is) involved a lady who becomes overheated, strips off to cool down in the lake, only for her clothes to be stolen and she is then discovered by a chap who chases her through the woods (and a picnic) outraged at her being naked in public. She is saved by a chivalrous gentleman she encounters, who covers her with his coat so she is undetected, and they walk off together. A nice glimpse at very early cinema - and early screen nudity.
