As a politically committed chronicler, Jürgen Henschel (1923-2012) photographed protest culture, urban redevelopment and everyday life in West Berlin. The iconic photo of the dying Benno Ohnesorg is his most famous image.
From 1967, Henschel worked as a press photographer for the magazine "Die Wahrheit" (The Truth) of the Socialist Unity Party of West Berlin (SEW), which was financed and directed by the GDR state party SED.
The Tempelhof-Schöneberg Museum archive contains around 23,000 negatives by Jürgen Henschel, who is also known as the "man with the ladder". To mark the 100th birthday of the photographer, the Schöneberg Museum is showing 100 of his black and white photographs from 1953 to 1990. They tell the story of Berlin and reflect the zeitgeist of the divided city.
