Timeline

1941

1961

On 15 August 1961 Leibing, working for the Hamburg picture agency Contiepress, had been tipped by police that an East German border guard might escape the Berlin Wall, then in its third day of construction.

At that stage of construction, the Berlin Wall was only a low barbed-wire fence.

As people on the Western side shouted Komm rüber! ("come over"), Leibing captured a photograph of Schumann jumping a barbed wire fence and making his escape.

The photo became a well-known image of the Cold War and won the Overseas Press Club Best Photograph award for 1961.

Leibing continued to work as a photographer, later as photo editor until retirement, both as a police photographer and reporter for the Hamburger Echo, the Hamburger Morgenpost, and Hamburger Abendblatt.
