Christa Pieske

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christa Pieske b. Burgemeister (born September 25, 1919 in Stettin ; † September 10, 2010 in Lübeck ) was a German private scholar , folklorist , art historian and author . She was particularly concerned with popular graphics and graphic paper.

Live and act

After attending school in Stettin, Pieske studied art history, German, folklore and newspaper studies at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Berlin , especially with Adolf Spamer and Wilhelm Pinder . As a 22-year-old, she was given a fundamental role in 1942 on the dissemination and significance of the sponsorship letter for Dr. phil. PhD. For her work she had researched the rich holdings of the Museum für Deutsche Volkskunde in Berlin, now the Museum of European Cultures .

During the flight and expulsion of Germans from Central and Eastern Europe from 1945 to 1950 , she came to Schleswig-Holstein with her family in 1945 . In 1955 she moved to Lübeck with her husband, who would later become the head teacher, Gerhard Pieske. She combined her own collecting with popular graphic research and writings in which, in the opinion of her colleagues, she published groundbreaking and groundbreaking things . Their topics ranged from shear cut (1963) on popular murals (exhibition Images factory in 1973) to the ABC of luxury paper (1984).

She sold extensive collections of her own to the Berlin Museum several times: around 2,500 sheets of popular graphics, predominantly of German provenance in 1987, and around 3,500 sheets of predominantly European and North American provenance in 1994. The work group Bild Druck Papier , whose conference proceedings she edited , emerged from the exchange with specialist colleagues .

Pieske also researched regional culture in northern Germany and in 1997 published a well-known work on Lübeck marzipan .

It cataloged the prints of the Stettin City Museum, which had been kept by the Pommern Foundation in Kiel until 1945 , before becoming part of the collections of the Pomeranian State Museum in Greifswald . In 1999 she received the Pomeranian Culture Prize for this achievement .

From 1976 to 1998 she was a member of the editorial board of the Lübeckische Blätter . In 1995 she was awarded the honorary professorship of the State of Schleswig-Holstein by the then Minister of Culture Marianne Tidick "in recognition and in appreciation of her decades of outstanding achievements in the fields of folklore as well as art and cultural history" by the State of Schleswig-Holstein.

Burghard Pieske is her son.
