Who was Dežo Hoffmann and why do we consider him to be such an important personality that we decided to devote a good deal of time, energy, and resources to the popularization of his work? Is his work relevant even today, or is it something that has long been "swallowed up" by history? Read more about him on our blog; you will learn something new and will definitely have some fun. In addition to answering these questions, you’ll discover, for example, that Hoffmann's voice was heard in one of the most famous popular songs of all time, the Beatles’ legendary Yellow Submarine. In addition, Hoffmann worked with the most prominent personalities of the world of show business; stars such as the Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, and Marilyn Monroe stood in front of the lens of this photographer from Banská Štiavnica, and that is "just the tip of the iceberg." However, before he achieved such great success, he experienced many setbacks. Let's take a closer look at his story.

The world-famous photographer from Banská Štiavnica, Dezider “Dežo” Hoffmann, left us an inspiring legacy, to which he testified with his own life.

Our civic association, OZ Rodný dom Deža Hoffmann, aims to further propagate and develop this link. Knock on the door of the "Dežo House" in beautiful Banská Štiavnica; we will be happy to open it for you.
