Sigmund Freud. Berggasse 19, Vienna
Tags
In 1938, Edmund Engelman took the only pictures of the place where Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, had lived and worked for forty years. That year, Sigmund Freud finally came to the decision to flee Vienna. The historic apartment and practice at Berggasse 19, today the Sigmund Freud Museum, was emptied. But prior to this, Engelman captured the birthplace of psychoanalysis in every detail in his black-and-white photographs: from the famous couch to the private salons. He thus created the only extant photographs of the place where groundbreaking works such as “The Interpretation of Dreams” were written and famous patients came and went. His portraits of a Sigmund Freud marked by grave illness and of Freud’s wife Martha and daughter Anna so shortly before their flight are harrowing witnesses to a dark time.
