Between 1925 and 1938, photographer E. O. Hoppé documented Germany during a time of significant upheaval. He captured a diverse range of subjects, from movie stars and industrial leaders to workers and peasants, while also chronicling the emergence of the Autobahn and UFA film studios. His work reflects the rise of fascism, the development of new suburbs, and the displacement of traditional lifestyles. With unique access to Germany's renowned factories and industrial sites, Hoppé experienced the country as it rushed toward an uncertain future. His German work, previously underappreciated, is now revealed through a combination of images from his 1930 book, Deutsche Arbeit, and many previously unseen photographs. From factory floors to the bustling streets of Berlin and Munich, Hoppé’s images expose the deep social and economic tensions that foreshadowed World War II. This publication positions Hoppé as a crucial figure in twentieth-century photography, introducing elements of typology, seriality, and sequence that have influenced contemporary practices. He developed a modern photographic style that conveyed not only appearances but also the emotional landscape of the time. The question remains: how could such a significant figure fade from historical memory?
