Friedrich Seidenstücker (1882–1966) was one of the foremost chroniclers of everyday life in Berlin at the time of the Weimar Republic. His atmospheric works recount casual incidents and events, lighthearted Sunday pleasures and the burdens of the working day, children’s street games and bustling crowds at stations and the zoo. Seidenstücker casts the people and the life of the German metropolis in an impish, even humorous light. (text from PderM)

Even though Seidenstücker is regarded as a typical Berlin photographer, he is also known far beyond the city limits – not least because he paid outstanding attention to one aspect in particular: his pictures reveal a sense of humour which is rarely found in photography. Friedrich Seidenstücker’s oeuvre evolved from this approach: founded in optimism, but never drawing a veil over the appalling conditions, harshness, poverty and misery of his age. (text from Berlinische Galerie BG)
