Live and act

Christiane Altzweig completed vocational training as a display advertising designer with a focus on graphics in Regensburg and further training as an advertising copywriter in distance learning . Then she turned to representational art , initially painting. Her preferred painting medium is gouache and colored pencils for illustrations. She later concentrated largely on paper mache.

In 2008 she opened the “Pappmaschee Universum” studio in Fürth, initially under the name “Frau Kramer's World”.

Some of the figures are painted in monochrome or polychrome , and others are covered with a printed newspaper. Altzweig also regularly conducts street art campaigns , including with the so-called "ear to the house wall".

For the city anniversary "200 years of city survey" in 2018, a vote took place among the citizens of Fürth about who the ten most important personalities of Fürth were, which were then made life-size according to the result by Christiane Altzweig. Initially, the figures for the city anniversary were part of a special exhibition in the Stadtmuseum Fürth from April to June 2018 , then in places to which they are related, for example Alfred Nathan in the Fürth Clinic , Max Grundig in the Fürth Broadcasting Museum , Wilhelm Löhe in the Nuremberg Wilhelm -Löhe-Schule and Henry Kissinger as a fan of SpVgg Fürth in the Ronhof sports park . Today the life-size paper mache replicas are in the Fürth town hall .
