Alfred Ehrhardt: Ernst Barlach Photography and Film 1948/49

Dec 03, 2023 – Nov 30, 2024

Alfred Ehrhardt Haus Strobelplatz 2, 07819 Triptis

Opening at the Alfred Ehrhardt Haus: Saturday, December 2, 2023, 4 pm to 6 pm

Born in Triptis, Alfred Ehrhardt (1901-1984) was one of the few Bauhaus students who earned his living exclusively as a filmmaker and photographer. In 1948, with the support of the British occupation authorities, he founded his own cultural film production company in Hamburg. His first post-war works include a film about the Bordesholm Altar in Schleswig and a two-part cultural film about the life and work of the German sculptor, draughtsman and writer Ernst Barlach (1870-1938). At the time, Ehrhardt was regarded as the “most important German post-war cultural film creator”.

In 2020, Hamburg curator Hans Bunge, while conducting research on Fritz Schleifer, came across a package with 128 vintage prints in the basement of Schleifer’s son.
