Berlin Freedom Week 2025


As part of the Berlin Freedom Week, we are offering a tour at ullstein bild on November, 12 at 10:00 AM

The photographic collection Ullstein, established in 1877, served as the source for various photo publications for the Berlin-based Ullstein Verlag and became one of Europe's leading newspaper and magazine publishers in the 1920s. The collection includes works from the Imperial era, the Weimar Republic, the Nazi period, and the time of exile following the expropriation of the Ullstein family. The one-hour tour provides an insight into the collection and explains the context and conditions of this unique inventory through selected works.

 The number of participants is limited to 10 people, and registration is required by email at kontakt@ullsteinbild.de.

 Our Axel Springer Ullstein Syndication team looks forward to your visit
