Deutsche Ruinenfoto's. Bearbeitung oder verdrängung eines unvermeidlichen Endes? (German photographs of ruins. Realization or repression of an inevitable end?)

A discussion of ""Ruins as Icons'' from Dürer's ""Ruhe auf der
Flucht'' (Repose after Escape, 1501) to World War I pictures by
Hermann Rex (1914) and the photographs of ruined Cologne (1944)
by Hermann Claassen. The author discusses in depth photographs
by Hilmar Pabel and Hermann Claassen of ruined German cities and
compares these with Leonard Sempolinski's pictures of the ruins
of Warsaw after World War 2. (German)
