Albert Ammer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albert (Otto) Ammer (born October 31, 1916 in Windischenbernsdorf near Gera ; † October 23, 1991 in Munich ) was a German photographer , film reporter and cameraman . Ammer shot documentary film documents and helped shape the visual language and aesthetics for Die Deutsche Wochenschau . After the Second World War, Ammer shot numerous documentaries for Der Augenzeuge (newsreel) in the former SBZ ( Soviet Occupation Zone ) and the GDR . During the popular uprising on June 17, 1953 , Ammer filmed the dramatic events in Halle an der Saale as a "brave cameraman" . Ammer's film recordings helped to reconstruct the events surrounding the popular uprising of 1953 in Halle (Saale) on the 60th anniversary and are considered historical documents. The recordings document the peaceful mass demonstration on Hallmarkt , the liberation of prisoners from the prison on Kleine Steinstrasse and the bloodily suppressed protests in front of the Roter Ochse prison . Ammer was arrested by the GDR State Security on June 18, 1953 and imprisoned for four weeks without a court order. The footage and its equipment were confiscated. In a DDR - show trial Ammer was to three years prison sentenced and lifelong prohibition is in the GDR. Ammer had to serve the full three years in prison. Appeals for clemency were rejected. After his release from the Waldheim correctional facility , Ammer fled the GDR to the Federal Republic of Germany in 1956. Ammer then worked as chief cameraman ( Hessischer Rundfunk ). In 1961, Ammer was permanently employed in Munich as a "cameraman with special tasks" ( Bayerischer Rundfunk ). In 1991 the judgment against Ammer was legally overturned and Ammer was officially and completely rehabilitated by the Federal Republic of Germany .

Life

family

Albert Ammer was the son of two factory workers from rural Thuringia and grew up in modest circumstances. His father Otto Paul Ammer (1889–1943) came from Windischenbernsdorf and worked in the textile industry as an arbitrator. His mother Helene Lina, née Fröhlich (1889–1975), came from sheep preskel . Albert Ammer had a lifelong friendship with Luis Trenker . In the summer of 1940 Ammer married the typist Emma Wilhemina Eid (1909–1957). Emma Ammer died unexpectedly in 1957. In September 1959, Ammer married the photographer master Jutta-Regina Ammer , née Lau (1931–2019). The son Andreas Ammer was born in 1960, the son Alexander K. Ammer in 1968 in Munich. Both sons worked for film and television . A German television prize was awarded to Andreas Ammer in 2011. Alexander K. Ammer is a graduate of the University of Television and Film Munich . Albert Ammer died in 1991 and is buried in the forest cemetery (Munich) with his wife Jutta-Regina Ammer.

education

Albert Ammer completed an apprenticeship as a display designer in Oscar Tietz's department store in Gera. In 1939 he worked as an assistant to the still photographer Ernst Baumann for the Luis Trenker film Der Feuerteufel . From 1940 to 1943 he served in the Second World War as a picture soldier and specialist in aerial photography in the Air Force . With the understanding of an artist, Ammer consistently distanced himself from dictatorial parties such as the NSDAP and SED .

The German newsreel (1943–1945)

In 1943 Ammer was trained as a film reporter at the Berlin School of Photo Reporting. Ammer shot as a film reporter in the film troop zbV, in the army film reporter train (HKBZ) with Commander-in-Chief West and in 1945 in the Berlin part of the propaganda company . Ammer filmed the war events in Berlin , on the Western Front and in Hungary for the newsreel .

Photo work (1939–1947)

During the war operations as a soldier, Ammer created private photo reports on Sicily , Crete , Athens and Paris . In 1941 the Kunstverein Gera organized an exhibition of his black and white photographs. In 1942 and 1943, Ammer was able to publish individual photographs in specialist journals. From 1945 Ammer worked as a freelance photographer in Gera . Ammer's recordings from this period document historical events in Gera. On November 8, 1945, Ammer documents the first free market on Roßplatz. Ammer photographs war refugees in Thuringia, the arrival of resettlers from the eastern regions after 1945 at Langenberg train station . These recordings are in the possession of the Gera City Museum .

The eyewitness (newsreel 1947–1953)

From 1947 to 1950 Ammer worked as a permanent cameraman for the DEFA branch in Weimar / Thuringia. He shot documentary reports for the GDR newsreel Der Augenzeuge . Ammer was able to propose and decide the subject of the reports in part. Ammer's sovereignty in filming and his freedom in choosing documentary topics in Thuringia met with political criticism in Thuringia's socialist leadership as early as 1948. Ammer and the DEFA staff nevertheless continued their course of narrative documentation “Ammer's will as a cameraman was aimed at clarity. The clarity of the process and the narrative. He had the viewer in mind ”.

Popular uprising of June 17, 1953 in Halle (Saale)

On June 17, 1953, from around 1 p.m., Ammer filmed the events of the popular uprising on June 17, 1953 . Ammer's goal was to document the extraordinary events. Ammer used while his private 35mm - ARRIFLEX film camera for which the DEFA had to pay him monthly usage fees. Ammer made about 25 meters of 35mm film. Today more than 100 individual images have been preserved. In addition to photos from Berlin, these recordings form the most extensive documentation of the events. In the morning, Ammer and his film assistant Jutta-Regina Lau had watched the gathering crowds and wanted to document the events with the film camera. During the release of the film material, there was a battle of words between Ammer and DEFA superiors. Ammer demanded the release of film material. The DEFA supervisor had the film material handed over and pointed out that Ammer was not filming on behalf of DEFA. Ammer supported the photographer and DEFA employee Jutta-Regina Lau during the shooting . Ammer and Lau filmed the events in downtown Halle (Saale) from elevated points of view . On the Hallmarkt , Ammer filmed the cheerful demonstrators waving happily into the camera. A photo was taken of Ammer and Lau, how both brightly clad filming the demonstrators from a truck.

Ammer filmed young people standing tightly packed on trucks taking part in the demonstrations. He also started the liberation of more than 200 women imprisoned from the prison on Kleine Steinstrasse. Ammer filmed dramatic scenes around 2 p.m. in front of the Roter Ochse prison , where young people were throwing stones at the prison. Water cannons were used by the GDR organs against the demonstrators. Five people were killed in the riot. Ammer turned until the Soviet military marched in front of the building at gunpoint. Around 4 p.m. Ammer filmed Soviet tanks advancing against the demonstrators at the Red Ox prison.

At 5 p.m., two more Soviet tanks took up position in the market square. Ammer filmed these tanks. These recordings formed a charge during his interrogation. In the interrogation by officials of the Ministry for State Security in the Roter Ochse prison (August 1953) Ammer stated: "I carried out this film work in order to create a document that was to be made available to the Halle City Archives via DEFA".

The Ministry of State Security used Ammers' seized film to identify and arrest participants in the demonstration. Ammer's twisted film strips were cut into individual images. The remaining picture snippets were kept in a Stasi file . Ammer's recordings were rediscovered more than 40 years later.

In the interrogation protocol of July 17, 1953, Ammer stated: "I wanted to film these incidents to create a contemporary document." In September 1953 Ammer was sentenced to three years in prison by the GDR district court in Halle (Saale) . In the view of the GDR court, Ammer's film work was, according to the indictment, “provocative behavior” and he supported “neo-fascist and anti-democratic activities by hostile elements”. Due to the political motivation of the court ruling and the injustice of the prison sentence, the Halle (Saale) district court overturned the 1953 ruling in April 1991. Albert Ammer was legally rehabilitated.

Documentaries (1951–1981)

Between 1951 and 1953 Ammer shot his first short documentary films with his Arriflex 35mm camera in black and white. For Brigade Anton Trinks "he realized complicated, technically complex photographs". Ammer filmed realistic scenes of the extremely difficult physical work of the miners underground. Some of the recordings took place at a depth of 1000 meters. This film was shown again in Gera in 2003 and in Berlin in 2008.

Ammer led the camera in numerous, longer documentaries, cultural films and documentaries. The shooting took him to numerous European countries and Africa. In the 1960s, Ammer filmed a multi-part Italian language course for television ( Bayerischer Rundfunk ) that was realized in Italy . In 1963 Ammer made a documentary ( Fort Lamy ) with the journalist Klaus Stephan in the border area of ​​Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Nigeria . In 1968 Ammer made a 90-minute documentary about modern Italian literature with Massimo Sani . With the gallery owner Richard P. Hartmann, Ammer made the documentary The Artificial Paradises in 1968 . In this film, several artists, including Arnulf Rainer , were filmed under the influence of the drug LSD in art projects. In 1978 Ammer led the camera in the 13-part television series The fabulous Ko family in the magic box .

Photo work (1949–1991)

Ammer took pictures with his private Rolleiflex and Leica 35mm cameras parallel to his film work . Small parts of his photographic work were presented in the exhibition in Gera 2002. In the early 1950s, Ammer frequently published images in specialist photography magazines. In the Federal Republic of Germany , Ammer published his recordings in books (for example Luis Trenker), photo magazines, magazines and on the front pages for the monthly program of the Bavarian Radio. In 1969, "the obviously most interesting photo" (Frank Rüdiger) was published in the US magazine Time . The photo shows the artist Arnulf Rainer painting his face under the influence of the drug LSD. After his retirement, Ammer photographed several hundred artistically designed doors and gates in Europe. With his death, the book project remained unfinished. In 1987 and 1988 Ammer designed the annual calendars for the Count of Oettingen with a large-format Hasselblad camera about princely possessions and historic carriages ( Old Castle Wallerstein ).

criticism

The director of the Museum of Applied Arts in Gera, Hans-Peter Jakobson, attested Albert Ammer's photographs to be of "high artistic value". The recordings were made “personally” and “with an eye on his time and not from the distance of a documentarist”. "Ammer did not expose people, but always put human dignity first".

Frank Rüdiger, the curator of the 2002 photo exhibition in Gera, summed up in the exhibition catalog on Albert Ammer's photography: “The strength of his photographs lies in the descriptive and narrative moments despite the differences in their stylistic divergence and intensity. Beyond the documentation of mere extracts of reality and facts, his pictures from over half a century sometimes tell large, but mostly small stories of his experiences in the world and the people he met there. "

The film historian Günter Agde assessed the defining importance of the film cameraman for Die Deutsche Wochenschau as follows: “At the end of their time at the Deutsche Wochenschau (...) the newsreel cameramen were technically and aesthetically dominated by the newsreel subject as a mute, short, black and white Film format with reportage character. Ammer - in the ensemble with the contributions of his colleagues - has his subjective part in it. In this respect, he helped shape the aesthetics of the German newsreel. "

The film historian Günter Agde emphasized the dynamics of the recordings about the recordings of the popular uprising of June 17, 1953 : “The demonstrators looked into the camera and waved at her, some called out to the cameraman which locations in Halle he should still be shooting. This special interaction between the cameraman and the demonstrators when they express their will in a public place creates the authenticity of the photographic (cinematic!) Documentation. "

Fred Klink, a DEFA director and screenwriter, judged in retrospect in 2002: “With the cameraman Albert Ammer, the newsreel and documentary film division, as well as television, lost a great man, a man whose 'camera eye' always lit up when it came to to capture the events of the time and the beauty of the world in the picture for the viewer and whose calling was his calling, which always served people with his skills ”.
