Christian Angerbauer was born in Berlin in 1925. He comes from a family of artists; his father and grandfather were already sculptors. Angerbauer grew up separately from his father and his mother died soon after his birth. When he was 5 months old, Angerbauer came to live with his grandmother in Dießen am Ammersee and grew up there. He completed his training as a sculptor as well as wood and barrel painter from 1939 to 1943 in Dießen and Oberammergau . In the artist town of Oberammergau he particularly deepened his carving skills . Due to his high performance, he qualified for attending the Munich Art Academy , but was unable to begin his studies because he was drafted into military service in 1943. As a prisoner of war he was imprisoned in Heilbronn . In the post-war period he initially earned his living carving figures of saints, nativity scenes, angels and similar genre motifs. He worked for various companies in Oberammergau and deepened his artistic techniques in dealing with wood, stone and bronze .

In 1948 Angerbauer married and shortly afterwards became the father of a daughter and a son. After a short time in Munich , he moved to Aystetten with his family of four in 1950 . Angerbauer lived in Haunstetten from 1956 (which was incorporated into Augsburg in 1972 ). In his family home there he also had his studio , which he modestly called his “workshop”. Angerbauer was a member of the professional association of visual artists in Swabia since 1952 . He was also a member of the Munich Artists' Cooperative and participated in numerous exhibitions . He had his artistic breakthrough at the age of 40.

The focus of Angerbauer's work has always been applied art , which is not free art for its own sake, but is intended to convey a generally understandable statement or message. Many of his works are sacred . Angerbauer created sculptures , reliefs , fountains and other plastic works for churches, chapels, cemeteries and public spaces in the Bavarian administrative district of Swabia . In addition to art on and in buildings, he also created small figurative sculptures made of wood and bronze. Angerbauer's graphic works include “high-contrast, expressionist-oriented woodcuts” (quotation from the general artist dictionary ) and surrealist images.

Angerbauer died in 2008 at the age of 83.
