Historical Photographs between National Socialism and Rebuilding

The exhibition „Hermann Eymann – Press Photographer in Times of Crisis“ is dedicated to the work of press photographer Hermann Eymann. The focus is on his photographs from two formative periods in German history: the time of National Socialism and the rebuilding period.

Photographs between Dictatorship and New Beginnings

The exhibited images open a view into a time of great political, societal, and architectural changes. Eymann's photographic work documents developments that had a lasting impact on everyday life and public life. The exhibition connects historical context with the immediate impact of photographic images.

The photographs from the time of National Socialism represent an era whose effects continued into the post-war period and the rebuilding. The exhibition makes visible how press photography can capture historical upheavals and pass them on to later generations. At the same time, it directs attention to the changes that occurred during the rebuilding period.
