Zeitprofile : 30 jahre Kulturpreis Deutsche Gesellschaft für Photographie = 30 years Kulturpreis German Photographic Society, 1959-1988

Since the 1950's two events have made photo history. On the one hand Photokina in Cologne, held every two years since 1950 and on the other hand the annual award of the German Photographic Society "Kulturpreis". Two events which have frequently supplemented each other and provided mutual reinforcement. The Kulturpreis was awarded at or during Photokina in Cologne and at the same time the Photokina photo exhibition prominently featured the work of the photographer awarded the Kulturpreis.
