Deutsche Arbeit, 1930
"German Work" |
Deutsche Arbeit In
the mid-to late 1920s, Hoppé made frequent visits to his
home country. He traveled extensively throughout Germany visiting the
manufacturing cities where an unprecedented industrial buildup was underway.
He photographed major industrial manufacturing complexes including Seimens
and Schuckert, the Borsig Locomotive Factory, the Graf Zeppelin factory,
the Brunner Mond Chemical Works, the Continental Tire factory, Krupps
Stores, coal mines in the Rhur and Essen, aircraft factories in Hanover
and Dessau, and all manner of large-scale industry. Man appears small
and insignificant next to his massive construction. Clearly German life
had entered an entirely new era. |
