Gundlach Collection to Remain in the Deichtorhallen Until 2046

Gundlach-Sammlung bleibt bis 2046 in den Deichtorhallen

The Hamburg Senate has announced a 20-year extension of the loan agreement for the F.C. Gundlach Collection at the Deichtorhallen. The prominent photography collection, which has grown to 14,000 works, will remain in the institution's 'Haus der Photografie' until 2046 and will receive a dedicated exhibition area on the first floor.

This secures the long-term public presence of a major private photography collection in the city of Hamburg, fulfilling the late photographer and collector's wish. The extension of a partnership begun in 2003 ensures institutional stability for the collection and reinforces Hamburg's cultural landscape by anchoring a significant photographic archive for future generations.
