Klaus Greiner

In 1976, an exhibition organised by the Cultural Association of the GDR was held at the Berlin City Library, featuring photographs by amateur photographers depicting everyday life in the GDR.

Alltag in der DDR – Straßenfotografien aus den 70er Jahren

The exhibition’s mentor and curator was the photographer and university lecturer Arno Fischer.

The Reinbeckhallen Foundation Collection of Contemporary Art is exhibiting the series shown by Klaus Greiner fifty years ago in their original form, supplemented by further previously unpublished photographs.

In the form of snapshots, photo-essays and visual narratives, they depict people and their living environments in East Berlin in the early 1970s.

The Reinbeckhallen Foundation Collection for Contemporary Art is a charitable institution dedicated to fostering a vibrant social and artistic discourse.
