The Hamburg Museum
The Hamburg Museum presents parts of its impressive collections of the photographers Georg Koppmann and Wilhelm Weimar. These photographs made between 1870 and 1913 are in large parts hitherto unknown to the public. They are not only striking documents for the history of Hamburg, but feature the tremendous change of the architectural shape of the city. A second section of the exhibition features contemporary photographs of the young polish documentary-photographer Michael Luczak and Rafal Milach. They dealt with the images of Koppmann and Weimar in different ways, and developed own photographic positions.
One of the main exhibition purposes is to look at the different photographic conceptions towards city changes, and of imaginations of the urban image future.
