Life

Barbara Klünder was born in Berlin in 1919 as the daughter of the artist couple Fritz Koch-Gotha and Dora Koch-Stetter . She spent her childhood in Berlin and from 1922 on in the summer months on the Fischland , where the family initially lived as guests with the painter Franz Triebsch and from 1927 owned a house in Althagen . After completing secondary school, she learned the trade of stenographer at AEG . The desire to study archeology failed when the Second World War began. In 1943 she married the painter Arnold Klünder . Althagen also became a permanent residence for the young family after the Berlin studio and the parents' apartment were destroyed in the war year 1944.

In addition to painting, the couple devoted themselves to pottery from 1950 onwards and founded a ceramic workshop in 1956. Together with the painter Frida Löber (1910–1989) and the sculptor and ceramist Wilhelm Löber (1903–1981) they developed the “Fischland ceramics ” from 1955. For the pottery vases, jugs and other functional ceramics, a variety of decors were created, which impress with their independence. Barbara Klünder was also known for her voluntary work in the Ahrenshooper Kulturbund and as a member of the municipal council.

Barbara Klünder died in 1988 in her house in Althagen, which has been part of the Ahrenshoop community since 1950. The grave of the Klünder family is located in the Fischland cemetery of the Baltic resort of Wustrow . The couple's children, Susanne (* 1943) and Johann (* 1950), also became artistically active.
