Live and act

Albrecht Dunzendorfer was born as the second of five children of Mayor Leopold Dunzendorfer of Oberneukirchen. From 1926 he taught as a teacher in Hellmonsödt . From 1931 to 1935 he studied with Wilhelm Dachauer and Carl Fahringer at the Art Academy in Vienna , then returned to the school service and wrote numerous photojournalistic and local history works.

After the annexation of Austria , Dunzendorfer was given the overall design and the visual design of the Oberdonau Heimatbuch , the home of the Führer. by Rudolf Lenk. From 1940 to 1944 he was a soldier and until 1946 a prisoner of war in England, where he designed the altarpiece of the barrack chapel at Camp 37.

After his return he devoted himself to his artistic career, which enabled him to create a house with a workshop. In 1955 he was a founding member of the Mühlviertel artists' guild . In 1958 he built the Hellmondwarte and in 1971 a 200 m² exhibition hall, which was also well known beyond the region and made it possible for him to show his works independently of the institutional art scene. Dunzendorfers pictures are in private and public collections. Dunzendorfer also wrote the text of the popular Mühlviertel folk song Unsa bugladö Welt , which was set to music by Fridolin Dallinger .

In 2006, the Artemons Art Foundation took over both the art gallery and his house with workshop, combined both structurally with a central wing, opened the Artemons art museum in Hellmonsödt and set up a permanent exhibition in Dunzendorfer's former home.

He had two children with his wife, who died in 1953, and a son with his second wife.
