Time jump in the state parliament: guided tours through the moving photography of the turning time!

In the coming week, the citizens of Brandenburg may go on an exciting journey of discovery through the history of the turning point. On July 4, 2025, a special tour of the annual exhibition "Zeitsprung" will take place in the Potsdam Landtagschloss at 4:30 p.m. Curator Benjamin Ochse will lead the participants through the fascinating photograph world, which holds life around the fall of the Berlin Wall and the immediate time afterwards. The exhibition awaits visitors until December 19, 2025, and admission is free of charge, so a visit is a good business for everyone interested in history.

The exhibition offers over 150 impressive photographs by the artists Hildegard Ochse, Kathrin Ollroge and Karl-Ludwig Lange. These works not only address the case of the Berlin Wall, but also the events and moods in the period afterwards. Karl-Ludwig Lange with his pictures shows the last days of the GDR: closed shops and people who are pending for everyday errands are impressively captured. These images are not only nostalgic, but also take a look at the challenges of life in a defect that is characterized by a defect, as well as nd -aktuell.

variety of perspectives

But not only for a long time the reality of this time shows. Hildegard Ochse, who died in 1997, documented the mood of the people after 1990 and was particularly devoted to the children of the GDR. For them, the Berlin Wall was not only a physical border, but also a "magical place". The youngest among the three photographers, Kathrin Ollrogen, brings fresh color photos and profound thoughts of thought that reflect on their influence on life during this upheaval.

All three photographers examine different facets of the wall and their meaning: from the sadness of the past to the shimmer of hope in the young state of Brandenburg. The exhibition offers a deep insight and stimulates discussions about that time.
