Abstract

In the end, what remains is the consideration of the images individually and as a whole: the book forms another narrative that tells the story of Saarbrücken's architecture in the 1950s and 1960s using selected examples. This narrative is told from the perspective of a generation that was just welcoming its parents at the time of construction; and this perspective is responsible not only for a distancing, but also for a close connection to family traditions, whether from photo albums or home movie clips, from collected books or magazines, or from the endless series of television stations that feed their archive material into an endless loop of re-runs. (Rolf Sachsse)

Places of my interest e.g. were the Autobahn, which is running along side the Saar river and devides the inner city of Saarbrücken, the Deutsch-Französischer Garten, a park commemorating the french-german connection and the Folster Höhe, a residental complex a the outskirts of the city.

These Photographs alongside with many others were shown at the exhibition 50 60 at the Galerie der HbK Saar in Saarbrücken in 2012. A catalogue was releases as well.
