Life

Curt Tausch was the son of the cabinet maker Karl Hermann Tausch and grew up in his hometown Königsbrück. He received his training as a plasterer and plaster sculptor in Leipzig . During his training, he also attended seven evening semesters at the Leipzig Municipal Trade School to study portrait , figure composition and anatomy with Professor Werner Stein . He passed the final exam with "very good".

After his training, Curt Tausch worked as a stone sculptor in Bautzen until 1931 . During this time he designed the cast template for a bust of the Sorbian poet Handrij Zejler . Using the original casting template in the Sorbian Museum in Bautzen, the sculptor Jörg Tausch, who is not related to Curt Tausch, made a bust for the Lohsa Friends' Association. It has been on view in the Zejler Smoler House in Lohsa since the beginning of 2018 . In 1938 he received two 1st state prizes from the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory .

In 1942, the Königliche Porzellanmanufaktur Berlin (KPM) commissioned the sculptor to design 20 porcelain figures for the European Postal Congress in Vienna in 1942. Curt Tausch was working at the main post office in Dresden at the time. The resulting postilion on a horse was also made after the congress, but by the Nymphenburg porcelain factory on behalf of KPM. The postillion also found its way onto the postage stamps issued on the occasion of the congress . The figures are now in the Postmuseum Frankfurt am Main .

Important works by Curt Tausch are also two reliefs and a sculpture on the memorial on the Scheibischer Berg in Königsbrück, which was inaugurated a few months after his death, and the relief Learning Youth is Wealth of the People at the former school in Königsbrück. From 1931 to 1949 he exhibited animal sculptures, ethnological figures and nudes at numerous exhibitions in Dresden, Berlin and Munich. He worked as a freelance artist in Königsbrück until his death. The city of Königsbrück honored him by naming Curt-Tausch-Strasse.
