Death of Ludwig Rotthowe

[Bill Jamieson]

I'm just back from a short visit to Germany and most of the current issues of their railway magazines record the sudden death on 18th Octber at age 80 (following an unspecified accident) of the well known photographer Ludwig Rotthowe. I have only come across his work in magazines but on the basis of what I've seen I would rate him as one of the most interesting German railway photographers of his generation. A quick web search reveals that he has authored a number of photographic albums over the years and if anyone here has any of his books I would be interested in your opinion of them.

I have just one, in which he was a contributer: https://www.modellbundesbahn-shop.de/product_info.php?info=p274_altenbeken---klassiker-der-eisenbahn.html

An absolutely awesome book with some truly remarkable photos.

RIP Herr Rotthowe.

John.
