Auf seinen Touren durch die Stadtviertel Münchens fotografierte er die verschiedensten Bauten, Plätze, Parks und das sich dort abspielende Leben. Dabei entstanden Momentaufnahmen der Stadt in der Vor- wie Nachkriegszeit bis zum Ende der 1960er Jahre.
Herbert Wendling - Munich
The city and its streets were one of Herbert Wendling's favorite subjects. On his tours through Munich's neighborhoods, he photographed a wide variety of buildings, squares, parks and the life that took place there. In the process, he created snapshots of the city in both the pre- and post-war periods up to the end of the 1960s.
