Benjamin Katz
Berlin Havelhöhe, 1960/61
Photography Room Presentation
6/7 – 9/22/2019
Recently, the Museum Ludwig was able to acquire the important series of photographs Berlin Havelhöhe (1960/61) by Benjamin Katz. Suffering from tuberculosis, Katz spent one and a half years in the Havelhöhe hospital in Berlin and photographed the patients’ daily life as well as the hospital grounds and buildings, which were originally used by the Nazi Reichsakademie for the Luftwaffe. The photographs represent a social as well as an artistic document, since they record Katz’s beginnings as a photographer.
