Erasmus Schröter
Erasmus Schröter (1956-2021) left the GDR in 1985 in protest and only returned to his hometown of Leipzig in the 1990s. In addition to his profession as a photographer, he was also a passionate collector of GDR children’s toys and GDR architecture postcards. He repeatedly incorporated both into his works and exhibitions. What is fascinating about his pictures is that they combine everyday culture with an incredibly strong aesthetic appeal.
Uwe Kolbe, renowned poet and prose writer, was a close friend of Erasmus Schröter during the 1970s and 80s, occasionally accompanying him on his excursions into East Germany’s nightlife. His writing poignantly captures the perceived realities of that era.
