DEEDS CALENDAR: Alfred Ehrhardt & Rolf Tietgens: Hamburger Hafen und Norddeutsche Küste – Alfred Ehrhardt Stiftung | until 07.07.2024

Alfred Ehrhardt Stiftung is showing the exhibition Hamburger Hafen und Norddeutsche Küste by the artists Alfred Ehrhardt and Rolf Tietgens from 13 April 2024. Rolf Tietgens (1911-1984) is considered one of the most important photographers of the 1930s, but he is still only known to a few in this country. His work fell into oblivion after he emigrated to New York at the end of 1938, threatened with persecution as a homosexual artist in Germany. As he never returned to Germany, his work remained forgotten for a long time. Today, his book Der Hafen, which was published by the renowned Heinrich Ellermann Verlag in 1939 to mark the 750th anniversary of the Port of Hamburg, must be counted among the best photo books of the 1930s.
