These photographs show street scenes in Trier around 1970 – faces of passers-by captured as they walk by.
They are not representative portraits, but everyday faces that tell of hardship, serenity, or thoughtfulness. The black-and-white photography reinforces the documentary character: wrinkles, glances, clothing, and posture speak their own language.
In retrospect, these images are more than snapshots—they are visual testimonies to an era in which postwar generations, the dawning affluent society, and individual life stories intersect.
