Life

The sun seeker in the colorful garden

Anne Marie Rommerskirchen grew up with five siblings as the daughter of a master baker's family in Mönchengladbach. She completed a commercial apprenticeship, but then turned to painting first autodidactically and later to sculpture. From 1939 she studied sculpture at the Master School of German Crafts in Krefeld and from 1942 she attended the Düsseldorf Art Academy as a private student of Professor Joseph Enseling . In Mönchengladbach she worked in a studio at Bismarckstrasse 99 from 1941. From time to time she rented one of her works to the city. For Anne Marie Rommerskirchen, the 50s and 60s were the time of greatest creative power. Popular motifs were girls 'and boys' figures, such as that of the sun seeker , who has been in the colorful garden in Mönchengladbach since 1950 . In the Mönchengladbach vernacular he is sometimes jokingly referred to as the 'trouser seeker'. During this time she had numerous exhibitions in Düsseldorf, Krefeld, Aachen, Cologne and Munich and went on study trips to Italy, France, Sweden, Denmark, Greece and Yugoslavia. In 1969 she married the solo bassist of the Niederrheinische Symphoniker Karl Stefan Stoll and moved with him to Dalheim-Rödgen in 1974 . In 1982 she moved with him to a retirement home in Geilenkirchen. In the last years of her life she was dependent on a wheelchair. When she could no longer work as a sculptor, she turned back to watercolor painting. On her 75th birthday, the Mönchengladbacher Stadtsparkasse organized an exhibition of her sculptures and pictures and the Fred Gatzen Verlag in Geilenkirchen published an illustrated book about her life and work. She died on July 14, 1985 in Geilenkirchen.
