SCHMÖLZ, Karl-Hugo

'Cologne and its photo books. Cologne in the photo book from 1853 to 2010 'by Werner Schäfke shows the city as a large puzzle. Whether published in-house, on behalf of the city or industry, they document the diversity of this old & young Rhine metropolis.

The photo book 'Cinemas' brings together for the first time a film of cinemas that were newly created by Hugo SCHMÖLZ and his son Karl Hugo SCHMÖLZ between 1935 and 1957, especially in the Rhineland and the Ruhr area.

At the 1937 World's Fair in Paris, Cologne was the only city in the world to be represented with its own pavilion at the Seine river, captured by Karl Hugo SCHMÖLZ. The photo book 'Cologne and the Seine' tells a forgotten episode of Franco-German history.

'Fotografen sehen Köln' contains works by Cologne photographers such as August Sander, Werner Mantz, August Kreyenkamp, Karl Hugo Schmölz, Heinrich Ewertz a.o., which show the historical upheavals and the rapid development of the medium of photography.
