Photography Meets Architecture: Klaus Frahm 2024 – Fritz Block 1930
A fascinating book featuring both photographymand architecture: the Deutschlandhaus, designed by Fritz Block and Ernst Hochfeld in 1929, was Hamburg’s first commercial building in the International Style. Despite its historical significance, it was demolished in 2019. By 2024 it had been replaced by a new structure, considered a modern interpretation of the original and featuring an impressive atrium inside.

description
Klaus Frahm, one of Germany’s best-known architectural photographers, has created a stunning portrait of the new Deutschlandhaus. His images not only capture Hadi Teherani’s architecture, but also make its formal language visible – both in colour and in black and white. These images are juxtaposed with historical photos taken in 1930 by the architect Fritz Block, showing the original Deutschlandhaus. Documentation on the history of the building, which at the time also housed the largest cinema in Europe, rounds off this exemplary monograph.
