kaiserswerther Straße // köln bilderstöckchen

a small residential ensemble combining elements of new building and expressionism is located in bilderstöckchen. the buildings differ in small details of design without losing the character of a coherent complex.

the only drawback is that the individual sections of the buildings are in different states of preservation and that there have been differences in the design of the façades during renovations.

eine kleines siedlungsensemble, welches elemente des neuen bauens und des expressionismus verbindet befindet sich in bilderstöckchen. die gebäude unterscheiden sich in kleinen details der gestaltung ohne aber den charakter eines zusammengehörigen komplexes zu verlieren.

das einzige manko ist, dass sich die einzelnen gebäudeabschnitte in unterschiedlichen erhaltungzuständen befinden sowie, dass es bei erfolgten renovierungen zu abweichungen der fassadengestaltung kam.

"Berlin was in a state of civil war," Christopher Isherwood writes in his Berlin Stories. "Hate exploded suddenly, without warning, out of nowhere." The failing Weimar government teetered on the verge of collapse, and along with it, the hopes of millions of Germans. Yet within the tumultuous early 1930s, high fashion nevertheless prevailed in Berlin.

Yva, a pioneering German-Jewish photographer, was a leading figure in the vibrant queer community of pre-Nazi Berlin. Her innovative work embodies the subtle elegance and boundary-pushing expressions of early 1930s aesthetics before the Nazi rise to power. Her evocative multiple exposure techniques and deliberately ungendered emphasis on the female figure offer a nuanced counterpoint to the artistic norms of the day, capturing glimpses of gender non-conformity and artistic sexual liberation that would soon be brutally suppressed.

Unfortunately, Yva was tragically unable to escape Germany before she and her husband were deported and murdered at the Majdanek concentration camp in 1942. Most of her negatives were destroyed, but in the years following the war, her surviving works were displayed at her last home in the Hotel Bogota at Schlüterstraße 45. Currently, the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin website maintains a digitalized collection of her work.
