Building director Fritz Schumacher commissioned the Dransfeld brothers to document the public buildings he had constructed since 1909. This prestigious commission established the Dransfeld brothers as leading architectural photographers in 1920s Hamburg. Among the architects for whom the studio worked were Fritz Höger, Martin Elsaesser, Distel & Grubitz or the Gerson brothers. With their photograph of the Chile House designed by Höger, Carl and Adolf Dransfeld created an icon of architectural photography. By creating a strong view from below and using a wide-angle lens, they reinforced the expressionist character of the building's top, thus contributing significantly to the popularity of modern Hamburg brick architecture. (Sven Schumacher).
