After completing school, Christoph Reichenbach completed an apprenticeship as a cabinet maker. From 1969 to 1972 he studied wood design at the Schneeberg Technical College for Applied Arts .

He then continued his studies in sculpture at the Burg Giebichenstein Art College in Halle under Professor Gerhard Lichtenfeld until 1977 . An apprenticeship followed from 1977 to 1979 with Professor Bernd Göbel . From 1979 to 1982 he worked as an assistant at Göbel and managed the art foundry .

He and his wife Renée Reichenbach have been working freelance in Halle (Saale) since 1982 . From 1984 he took part in national symposia of the Leunawerke . From 1988 onwards he took part in international stone carving symposia in Naumburg ; this is where his first large stone sculpture was created. He has been working with terracottas since 1988 . From 1990 followed works with large lead figures and reliefs. He is also active in restoration, for example in 2012/2013 on the restoration of the large bridge figures in the hall, the cow and the horse by Gerhard Marcks.

In 1980 he was awarded the Gustav Weidanz Prize for Sculpture from the Burg Giebichenstein Art College in Halle.

Works (selection)

  • 1992: Halle (Saale), Kröllwitz Clinic: "Seated Harlequin"
  • 1999: Halle (Saale), Rennbahnkreuz: Large sculpture "Harlequin Dancing on the Tight"
  • 2000: Weißenfels, Stadtpark: "Harlekin", stone sculpture
  • 2009: Dresden, Fiedlerstraße: Large sculpture "Balancing act". The figure consists of lead-clad polyester resin on coated steel supports and was set up in November 2009 on Fiedlerstrasse. Above the heads of scientists, students and passers-by, the sculpture symbolizes the particularly close connections in Dresden between basic research and patient care: the Faculty and University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus have an excellent reputation beyond the borders of Germany for transferring theoretical knowledge into everyday clinical practice worked out - that's why the figure walks with the balancing stick from the medical-theoretical center to the clinics and polyclinics of the university hospital.
  • 2010: Hasselbachbrunnen (Magdeburg) reconstructed by Peter Michael and Christoph Reichenbach.
