Laurenz Berges (born Cloppenburg, 1966) is a German photographer.
[1][2] Berges studied communication design at the University of Essen from 1986 to 1993, where he graduated with a diploma.
In 1988 and 1989, Berges worked as a photo assistant for the photographer Evelyn Hofer in New York.
Between 1991 and 1995, Berges photographed the interiors of East German barracks that had been abandoned by the Red Army after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
He is particularly interested by the details from abandoned apartments, vacated houses, and overgrown gardens, that he makes the subject of a poetic, yet strictly documentary pictorial composition.
