Biography
Biography
Eugen Nosko was born in the territory of the Second Czechoslovak Republic just in the storming days of the Munich Agreement. In 1946 his family had to leave their country, due to the Beneš decrees, and came in Germany, in the Mecklenburg region. From the mid-1960s to 1984 he specialised in photographing and writing articles about East German industry, like the Kombinat and VEB enterprises. In 1985 he moved to West Germany, where he continued to work as journalist and photographer for another 15 years. Then he returned to Dresden. All the 9,900 photographs shot by Nosko are publicly available online on the Deutsche Fotothek website with a CC-BY-SA 3.0 license and have all been even uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons website (see below).
