Life

Sickinger learned the stonemason trade with Konrad Volm in Owingen and then worked for two years in Überlingen. He then went to Munich and found employment in Johann N. Haller's workshop. After his death in 1826, he founded a sculpture workshop in which numerous sculptures and altars in the neo-Gothic style were created. The altars for the parish church in Velden and for the St. Jodok church in Landshut are counted among his best works . As part of the restoration of the Frauenkirche in Munich , he created what was then the main altar (this information was corrected in 1870; according to Adolf Friedrich Seubert , the main altar was created by the sculptor Joseph Knabl and Sickinger made an altar that the bakers' guild donated for this church in 1856) based on a design by Architects Matthias Berger and the pulpit. Another work by Sickinger is the interior of the church in Kirchanhausen near Beilngries in the Eichstätt district, built in 1857/58 . Sickinger enjoyed the favor of King Ludwig I , who gave him orders for the Liberation Hall in Kelheim. Students of Anselm Sickinger, who was a member of the Munich Association for Christian Art founded in 1860, included Joseph Knabl, Franz von Lenbach , Peter Lutt (1828–1907), Christof Roth (1840–1907) and Dominik Singer (1845–1897).
