THE BND
Even before it began its work on April 1st 1956, the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), Germany’s intelligence service, was inseparably linked to the site in Pullach near Munich. For decades, this Bavarian town has been synonymous with an important and controversial chapter of German post-war history which, even today, is marked by “opinions, clichés and prejudices”, according to the present chairman of the BND, Dr. August Hanning. The decision reached by the security cabinet chaired by Chancellor Gerhard Schröder on April 10th 2003, namely to relocate the headquarters of the intelligence service to Berlin, signifies a radical turning point in the way the intelligence agency sees itself. During the course of this relocation, Andreas Magdanz was offered the historic opportunity to take a closer look at this history-steeped area in Pullach, which will probably be abandoned in 2011 following the move, within the context of an artistic photographic project and without any limitations of access.
THE PROJECT
The object of the artistic project »BND - STANDORT PULLACH« by Andreas Magdanz is a comprehensive photographic documentation of the 68-hectare core premises of the BND in Pullach. The project’s focus is the compilation of a high-quality book of photographs which is due to be published in April of 2006 by the prestigious Cologne publisher DuMont. In analogy to the project »DIENSTSTELLE MARIENTHAL«, the BND documentation will be produced on a cartographic basis in order to enable the observer to orient himself visually in the hermetically sealed area. Here, topographical, functional and historic parameters represent the criteria of the review.
