Abstract
A very well documented article on the forgotten presence of so
many professional active women photographers in Germany, in
between the two world wars. The author distinguishes several
fields of professional photographic practice. She describes the
growth of the ""Bildermärkte'' (Image-Markets) at that time, the
emerging new illustrated periodicals and the rise of the
practitioners of the candid camera. The list of members of the
""GDL (Gesellschaft Deutscher Lichtbildner)'' is checked for the
presence of women-members. It is pointed out that many
photographic innovators at that time were women, and that many
women-photographers were presented at the ""Fifo'' exhibition of
1929. Comments in the ""Deutsche Lichbild' of the 1929 till 1934
edition are cited. The ""Gleichschaltung der Presse'', however,
condemned women photographersm, advising them to abandon their
profession or leave the country. Some died in
concentration-camps. The author comments on two
women-photographers that cooperated with the Nazi regime: Erna
Lendvai-Dirksen and Leni Riefenstahl. (German)
