In the organizer's words:

NordOstKultur in cooperation with the Munich University of Applied Sciences (Faculty of Architecture)

"The ARCHITECT HELMUTH WOLFF - and his architectural works in Munich"

The exhibition commemorates the now almost forgotten Jewish Munich architect Helmuth Wolff. At the end of the 1920s, he realized several large residential complexes in Bogenhausen and Untergiesing, whose architecture stands between modernism, art deco and Munich's building tradition - many of which have survived to this day.

In 1933, Wolff emigrated to the Netherlands with his wife Annemie Wolff. In exile in Amsterdam, they set up a photo studio and experimented with color and 35mm photography. In 1940, Helmuth Wolff took his own life following the occupation of the Netherlands by Nazi Germany.

Based on a research seminar, the exhibition traces Wolff's architectural traces in Munich. The introduction will be given by Prof. Dr. phil. Karl R. Kegler and students of the Munich University of Applied Sciences (Faculty of Architecture) will give an introduction.

The exhibition can be visited during opening hours up to and including June 12, 2026.
