August Henneberger (sculptor)
August Anton Henneberger (born January 15, 1873 in Kötzting , † September 29, 1961 in Hamburg ) was a German sculptor .
His parents were Anton Henneberger, bookbinder, and Theres, geb. Obermeier, pastor's daughter . From around 1891 to 1901 he trained as a sculptor in Munich. From October 23, 1899 he was enrolled at the local academy as a student of Syrius Eberle . Around 1904 he went to Altona , where he taught as a professor at the arts and crafts school. He was instrumental in founding the Altona Artists' Association in 1909. He was also a member of the Hamburg Artists 'Association from 1832 and the Hamburg Artists' Association . On July 13, 1905 he married Margarete Berta Sofia Charlotte Maria von Zech (born February 29, 1872); in the same year he acquired Prussian citizenship.
Although Kötzting's market councilors had refused him the order for the Marian column of the fountain on St. Veitsplatz in 1902, Henneberger remained connected to his homeland. In 1945 he painted the Kötztinger Whitsun Step , how the head of the procession in Marktstrasse was riding past a tank on which American occupation soldiers were lounging. For the town elevation in 1953, Henneberger gave the town a Pentecostal warrior carved from oak (both in the new town hall).
