From September 15, the world's best press photos will once again be in the seventh district - the Fotomuseum WestLicht Schauplatz from World Press Photo is already taking place for the sixteenth time in a row.

About

In 2016 the event attracted around 23,000 visitors to Westbahnstrasse. The award-winning single pictures and photo series, as icons of the past, reflect the past year and show impressively events from the fields of politics, society, sport and nature. Among the dominant themes in the competition are the conflicts in the Islamic world, in particular the war in Syria and the struggle against the IS in northern Iraq, as well as the fate of the refugees on the dangerous trans-European to Europe.
