🚆 Nicht zu weit hinauslehnen – 1966 – Original A2 Poster for Deutsche Bundesbahn
Deutsche Bundesbahn accident-prevention campaign (Unfallverhütung)
Screenprint (Siebdruck) | 59.4 × 42.0 cm | West Germany
🎬 Introduction
A model of mid-1960s German industrial modernism, this Deutsche Bundesbahn safety poster freezes a moment of near-miss clarity: a railway worker leans from a carriage door while a vertical, dashed red line bisects the frame—an uncompromising “do-not-cross” threshold. Set against a black‑and‑white photographic ground, the warning “Nicht zu weit hinauslehnen!” delivers its message in bold, rational sans serif, the typographic economy reinforced by a single signal-red accent and a hardhat keyed in safety yellow. The composition reads instantly, even at a glance on a busy platform.
Issued in the practical A2 format for depots and staff areas, the piece exemplifies the Bundesbahn’s postwar push for behavior-shaping visual systems: documentary photography, modular type, and a pared-back graphic code designed for legibility at speed. Its crisp, instructional image language sits squarely within the era’s functionalist canon.
✨ Why It Matters
Accident-prevention posters were working tools—posted, handled, replaced—so originals survived less frequently than consumer advertising. This 1966 screenprint offers collector appeal across rail and transport history, occupational safety ephemera, and European modernist information design. The dashed red rule is more than an accent; it is a semiotic device that converts an abstract hazard into a visible boundary, a concise lesson in systems thinking typical of the period’s German design culture. As a time capsule of state-backed public communication—clear, unsentimental, and rigorously economical—it neatly bridges documentary photography and typographic discipline, making it a strong reference for curators and designers studying applied modernism.
