Deutschland in Vietnam

In 2017, the Berlin photographer and historian Nicolaus Schmidt was invited by the German Embassy Hanoi to realize a photo project about German-Vietnamese cooperation in Vietnam. More than one hundred people were photographed with the support of the German Embassy and the German Consulate General. On the basis of these photographs and many interviews, Nicolaus Schmidt also published the book "Việt Đức - Deutsch-vietnamesische Biografien als Spiegel der Geschichte" ("German-Vietnamese Biographies as Reflection of History").

The German Consulate General shows a selection of twenty photographs in which the many threads of German-Vietnamese relations since the early 1950s can be traced.
