The life of Barbara Bathe Barbara

Bathe was born in 1940. And grew up in the turmoil after the Second World War with many changes of location, as she reports. Berlin, Thuringia, Winsen an der Luhe, Kiel and Bonn are among the places she stayed. Then followed her studies in Marburg with a year's assistantship in England. The former teacher completed her traineeship in Trier. "I have lived with my family in Westerburg since 1969, where I taught German and English at the KAG. I have been involved with language all my life and find the combination of image and text meaningful and interesting and have used it in all my exhibitions and of course in the small texts that have been self-published," she summarises.

In 2022 she published "The Borrowed Time" together with Martin Fandler - with pictures by him and texts by her. Her photography "My hobby photography is predominantly about nature and landscape. A theme that accompanied me for a long time were the clay pits in the Westerwald. I have shown many of my pictures in two exhibitions in the Landscape Museum in Hachenburg, two exhibitions in the Stöffel Park and various exhibitions in Westerburg." In addition, I have participated in numerous exhibitions of the Westerwald Photo Friends Association. "It is a pleasure for me to be able to show a small selection of my pictures of Lake Wiesen as part of the offer of the Equal Opportunities Office of the Westerburg Association Municipality in the Kräuterwind Garden Room, Winner Ufer 9, 56459 Stahlhofen a.W."
