We wish his relatives a lot of strength and consolation,” reads on.
Big funeral service planned
Exhibition curator and managing director of the FC Gundlach Foundation, Sebastian Lux (49), said Gundlach “fell asleep peacefully” in his room in the Elbschloss Residenz in Hamburg. Since the photographer had no previous illnesses, the death was unexpected.
