A beautiful volume featuring both the photography and architecture of the Deutschlandhaus in Hamburg, Germany.
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 and replaced by a new structure in 2024, considered a modern interpretation of the original and featuring an impressive atrium inside. 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 color and in black and white. These images appear in comparison with historical photos taken in 1930 by the original architect, Fritz Block, showing the first Deutschlandhaus. Documentation on the history of the building, which at the time also housed the largest cinema in Europe, rounds off this exemplary monograph.Author Biography
