Renate Rössing
Renate Rössing , also Renate Rössing-Winkler (born Winkler ; born April 15, 1929 in Dresden ; † July 11, 2005 in Leipzig ) was a German reporter and landscape photographer .
Life
Between 1948 and 1951 Renate Rössing attended photography classes at the University of Graphic and Book Art in Leipzig with Johannes Widmann. The focus of her training was on advertising and reporting. During her studies she met Roger Rössing , whom she later married.
The couple worked together for 55 years on reports - mainly about Leipzig and Dresden, but also about cities, people and landscapes in Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary, as well as Asia and Africa. Initially, she mainly shot reports for newspapers, later she and her husband were the authors of around 90 illustrated books.
Like Roger Rössing, Renate Rössing is one of the most important photographers in Eastern Germany. In order to receive this eyewitness testimony from important photographers, the Federal Culture Foundation transferred the couple's estate to the German Photo Library of the Saxon State Library in Dresden (SLUB).
