While travelling around East Germany in 1990 – after the fall of the Wall but before reunification – Stefan Koppelkamm found himself wanting to take photographs that would capture sights and scenes he assumed would never occur again.
The buildings, streets and squares he photographed often looked as though time had stood still, and gave an idea of how Germany might have looked before the Second World War. Ten or twelve years later, Stefan Koppelkamm sought out all these places again and photographed them for a second time, from exactly the same viewpoint.
The pairs of images produced like this one show that many of the locations have undergone profound changes. The Goethe-Institut’s exhibition includes a representative selection of photographs from the Ortszeit - Local Time project. Stefan Koppelkamm has provided short commentaries on his photographs which contain additional information about the buildings depicted and draw attention to particularly striking details.
