Paul M. Newcastle, U.D., Germany

In 2018, there was a call for applications for the photo competition "Discovering Bauhaus – Searching for Traces in the Free State of Thuringia". The Bauhaus and the New Building have interested me for a long time. In my native city of Erfurt, but also in other Thuringian cities, I know many buildings in this tradition, and of course I am not the only one. For this reason, I decided not to photograph the well-known buildings (or objects), but rather unknown, hidden ones. I concentrated on Erfurt's Hanseatic quarter around Hamburger, Altonaer and Flensburger Straße. I was happy when two of my pictures were selected. Here I show a picture from the series that was not shown in the exhibition. This exhibition had a completely unexpected late consequence for me: possibly I will be allowed to participate in a feature film.
