Between the 1890s and the 1990s, the Oberspree cable factory (KWO) was a large company in Berlin, which specialized primarily in the manufacture of electrical cables and wires. The Oberspree cable factory was closed in 1995. After that, it was extensively renovated. The cable factory is now a listed building as one of the most important ensembles in German industrial history. Cables are still produced in a small part of the facility. The Wilhelminenhof campus of the Berlin University of Applied Sciences (HTW) now takes up most of the historic site.

Steffen Reichardt was born in Magdeburg in 1976 and moved to Cottbus in April 2017. He experiences the fascinating world of photography again and again when traveling, as well as on trekking and mountain bike tours lasting several days. The camera is his companion on these journeys. His favorite stylistic devices such as long exposure and creative image editing are expressed in his photographs. The photographic range includes landscape, architectural and digital art photography, with the viewer easily noticing his minimalist image compositions.
