Foundation of the Rixdorfer Drucke workshop

In 1963 he founded the Rixdorfer Drucke workshop with Uwe Bremer , Johannes Vennekamp and Arno Waldschmidt in Berlin under the patronage of the poet Günter Bruno Fuchs . Albert Schindehütte said ironically about the artists' union: It was love at first sip .

The Rixdorfer Drucke workshop then moved from Berlin to Gümse in Wendland in 1974 .

Move to Hamburg

However, Schindehütte did not move with them, but moved to the Övelgönne in Hamburg in the early 1970s and lived in the same house with Peter Rühmkorf . There Albert Schindehütte married the Hamburg graphic artist Katinka Niederstrasser , with whom he brought out the love couple “Paarodien” and has lived with the journalist Bigs Möller since the mid-1970s. In 1980, Albert Schindehütte illustrated Peter Rühmkorf's volume of poems "Goodbye in Kenilworth: a fairy tale in thirteen chapters" with drawings.

Rediscovery of home

The Märchenwache is dedicated to the children's and house fairy tale storytellers of the Brothers Grimm , the farewell Dragoon Sergeant Johann Friedrich Krause , to whom Albert Schindehütte is distantly related, and the Hanau demoiselle Marie Hassenpflug, who married a von Dalwigk in the nearby Hoof . On April 29, 2009 Albert Schindehütte received the Hessian Order of Merit. Albert Schindehütte designs a woodcut for every 1st Bundesliga promotion of FC St. Pauli .
