August Schreitmüller
August Schreitmüller (born October 2, 1871 in Munich , † October 15, 1958 in Dresden ; full name: August Theodor Marquardt Schreitmüller ) was a German sculptor .
Life
Schreitmüller was the son of the sculptor Johannes Daniel Schreitmüller and was born in Munich. After graduating from high school in Dresden and attending the Dresden School of Applied Arts , he studied at the Munich Art Academy from 1892 to 1893 . Syrius Eberle was one of his teachers . He returned to Dresden in 1893 and continued his studies from 1893 to 1896 at the Dresden Art Academy with Robert Diez and Heinrich Epler .
Due to his high artistic talent, he received the golden plaque at the art exhibition in Dresden in 1904 , the highest honor of the Dresden Art Academy. He was also funded by the Torniamenti Foundation. In 1907 he was appointed professor at the Dresden Art Academy, and in 1909 he was a co-founder of the Dresden Artists' Association . Schreitmüller realized numerous commissioned works for public space, but also created small sculptures in bronze and marble as well as gravestones and grave sculptures. As a result of the air raids on Dresden in 1945, he lost his apartment in Blumenstrasse 8 in Johannstadt, as well as his studio with many works of art and designs. After 1945 he moved into an artist apartment in the Künstlerhaus Dresden-Loschwitz (ground floor, Atelier M).
