Life

Klaus Rohmeyer was born the son of the painter Wilhelm Heinrich Rohmeyer , attended the Hermann-Böse-Gymnasium in Bremen and began an apprenticeship as a carpenter in Fischerhude in 1945. From 1950 he worked as a carpenter in Hesse and discovered his inclination for photography on bicycle trips through Germany. Buying a Linhof - large format camera (1954) and a visit to a school of photography (1956) mark the first steps towards professionalisation. Around 1957 he worked in the studio of the Brunswick photographer Heinrich Heidersberger . Rohmeyer's specialty has been landscape photography since the 1970s, which he published in illustrated books, calendars and postcards. The Focke-Museum Bremen acquired a large part of his photographic estate in 2009 .
