Life
The farmer's daughter went to Berlin in 1930, where she took photography courses at the school of the Lette Association . In 1932 she learned in the studio of the Jewish photographer Suse Byk , after which she was employed by Kodak (Germany). In 1938 she took over the studio from Suse Byk on Kurfürstendamm . The studio and most of its photo archive were destroyed in a bomb attack in the winter of 1944.
After fleeing Pomerania in 1945, she first went to Detmold , and in 1950 she opened a studio on Königsallee in Düsseldorf . She specialized in portrait and theater photography. She soon made known her pictures in collaboration with Gustaf Gründgens and Elisabeth Flickenschildt . After the Deutsche Bundespost had selected its portrait of Federal President Theodor Heuss in 1959 as the basis for a stamp series , it was able to choose its client. Her portraits of Konrad Adenauer , Rudolf Augstein , Maria Callas , Uwe Johnson and Thomas Mann as well as Ingeborg Bachmann , Gottfried Benn , Joseph Beuys , Lea Steinwasser , Jean Cocteau , Marlene Dietrich and Hildegard Knef became famous .
Liselotte Strelow was a member of the Society of German Photographers (GDL) and the German Society for Photography (DGPh). A photographic part of the estate - mainly portrait photographs - is in the Rheinisches Landesmuseum in Bonn, the much larger theater- photography part of the estate in the theater museum of the state capital Düsseldorf , formerly: Dumont-Lindemann Archive.
