"History is being made - things are moving forward!"

35 years since the fall of the Wall - historical images of Berlin before and after 1989

Everyday life, mass protests, social movements, houses and streets, continuities and upheavals, destinies and feelings. And always with a view of the Berlin Wall.

– Fotograf Harald Hauswald

Streets in Kreuzberg ended in front of concrete and barbed wire. The same in East Berlin, for example in Oderberger Strasse, Prenzlauer Berg.

What was the photographers' view of the divided city and its inhabitants? What changed after the fall of the Wall? What was and is important to them to photograph?

Photographers in the right place at the right time: How has photography developed since 1989? What does it mean to be a photographer today?

You can talk about this with Gottfried Schenk and Harald Hauswald. Both will be showing their current and historical pictures.
