Rediscover Unknown Images from Rotthausen
On November 5, 2026, the Rotthausen Mining Collection will open a special visual treasure chest: Old, previously unknown slides featuring views from Rotthausen will be shown to the public for the first time. The presentation combines historical photography, local memory culture, and community exploration.
Photographic Time Documents in 7x7 Format
The focus is on slides in the 7x7 format, which were once taken by a Rotthausen photographer. These images may preserve cityscapes, street scenes, and everyday moments that have changed over time. Through concentrated examination of the works, we get an immediate glimpse into local history.
Jointly Determining Motifs
The event explicitly invites the audience to participate. Visitors can help identify the displayed motifs and share memories related to places, buildings, or situations. Thus, the exhibition situation becomes a vibrant exchange between photographic documentation and personal memory.
A Unique Art Experience
The aesthetic experience of these slides lies in their authenticity: Light, colors, image format, and historical perspective make the photographs vivid testimonies of Rotthausen's past. The exhibition atmosphere of the Mining Collection enhances the impression that a previously hidden chapter of the city's history is coming to light.
Conclusion
The presentation offers an unusual art experience for anyone interested in photography, urban history, and cultural memory. Anyone wishing to experience Rotthausen from a new perspective and assist in deciphering unknown views should not miss this free evening at the Rotthausen Mining Collection.
