About This Site

Due to some experiences in my childhood, buildings in a distinctive style caught my eye. For a long time without knowing exactly what it was about. From time to time I happened to think of it, e.g. in Hanover. Only when I was in Halle more often in 2014 and noticed some buildings there as well, I started to take a closer interest…. And so for several years I have put together a small collection of illustrations, mostly postcards or books. These are presented here.

TODO

  • Provide more information about Backsteinexpressionismus, until then information on individual illustrations is linked.
