Hanover Photographic Society from 1903

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hanover Photographic Society of 1903 eV, based in Hanover, is one of the leading associations for amateur photography in Northern Germany. The society organizes its own exhibitions and is regularly involved in events.

history

Around 1900 the members of the Hanover Photography Association, founded in March 1888, split into professional and amateur photographers. This led to the establishment of the "Association for Amateur Photography" in 1903, which on January 1, 1906, was renamed the "Hanover Photography Society".

As a leading amateur club in northern Germany hosted the Photographic Society in October 1908 Kuenstlerhaus the "first Lower Saxony Photographic Exhibition ”. There the association maintained its own club rooms and a lecture hall until it was bombed by the air raids on Hanover in 1943 during World War II .

After the association was dissolved, the company was re-established in 1946. In the years of reconstruction, in March / April 1952, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary, a large anniversary exhibition was presented to the public in the New Town Hall .

To this day, the company maintains color and slide photography and organizes local picture shows. Regular events have been held in the Vahrenwald leisure center since 1999.

The association is a member of the German Association for Photography and the Lower Saxony Heimatbund .
