Enno Kaufhold
Biography
Enno Kaufhold, born in 1944, grew up in Dötlingen, Oldenburg. After an apprenticeship as a metal aircraft builder and subsequent military service, he worked as a machinist in Bremen and also attended an evening school. In 1967 he came to Hamburg and took his Abitur at the Hansa-Kolleg. Since then he has been drawn to St. Pauli at irregular intervals and took his first photographs. After graduating from high school, Kaufhold began studying art history with a minor in sociology at the University of Hamburg and decided in the mid-1970s to do his doctorate on a topic related to the history of photography, which at the time meant self-study in the field of photographic history.ü At the same time, he began taking photographs specifically on St. Pauli. Due to the topic of the doctorate, which included painting and photography, he sifted through the most important collection of historical photographs in Hamburg for several years, first at the Landesbildstelle and then at the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe. From the 1980s, when he started freelance work, he worked on completing his doctorate and at the same time as a professional photographer. This duality, the combination of journalistic-scientific and practical work, was to remain a principle of his work. It was during this time that he came into contact with F. C. Gundlach, who ran a photography gallery in the bunker on the Heiligengeistfeld.
From 1984 to 1986 Kaufhold accompanied a resocialisation project in the prison in Fuhlsbüttel as a photographer, which concluded with an exhibition and catalogue. This was followed in 1987/1988 in collaboration with the photo artist DG. Reifl, a photographic portrait of the university quarter commissioned by the cultural authorities, which in turn resulted in an exhibition and a book. At the same time, together with Hans Meyer-Veden, F. C. Gundlach and Denis Brudna, he founded a working group that organised an extensive exhibition programme for 1989 to mark the 150th anniversary of photography. In autumn 1989, Enno Kaufhold left his studio Bei den Mühren and went to New York, from where he continued to write and photograph for German clients. Initiated by the fall of the Berlin Wall in November of the same year, he decided to live and work in Berlin in the future, but continued to maintain contact with Hamburg.
Among other things, he wrote regularly for Photonews and worked on several projects together with F. C. Gundlach, including on the history of fashion photography in Berlin and on the photographer Martin Munkacsi. Kaufhold's major works include the catalogues raisonnés of the photographic estates of Heinrich Zille and Christian Schad, and he also acted as curator of national and international exhibitions such as the 1st Ars Baltica Triennale of Photographic Art, which was shown in ten European cities from 1996 to 1998. Since 1997, Kaufhold has taught photo history and photo theory at state universities of applied sciences in Berlin and Bielefeld as well as at public schools.
This has included the private Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie since 2005. Over the years, Kaufhold has published numerous texts on various photo-historical topics and several books. With the publication of this St. Pauli book by Junius Verlag, he is continuing his formerly closer ties to Hamburg.
