Eduard Stritt (born March 7, 1870 in Grafenhausen , Black Forest , † February 8, 1937 in Freiburg im Breisgau ) was a German glass painter .

life and work

Eduard Stritt first completed an apprenticeship in the Schell & Vittali glass painting studio in Offenburg and then attended the arts and crafts school in Karlsruhe . He then continued his training in Munich, where he a. a. worked in the glass painting workshop of Karl de Bouché . He then worked in Offenburg, where he designed the facade painting for the deer pharmacy on the fish market around 1898. In 1903 he settled in Freiburg and, with his wife Hedwig, b. Schmid (* 1887) his house and workshop in Mercystraße 2 at the foot of the Lorettoberg . The writer Reinhold Schneider moved into this house in 1938 .

Stritt's competition designs for the Hohkönigsburg in Alsace were so popular with the restoration architect Bodo Ebhardt (1865–1945) that Stritt was entrusted with the execution of almost all of the castle's windows in the neo-Gothic style. For this work he received the title of royal Prussian court painter. He was also involved in other projects by Bodo Ebhardt, such as creating the windows for the castle chapel of the Coburg Fortress, which he had restored . He created several windows for the reconstruction of Tzschocha Castle in Lower Silesia , which Ebhardt carried out from 1909 to 1914 .

For the parish church of St. Johannes Baptista in Forchheim , built between 1906 and 1909 in the neo-Romanesque style, he created the side aisle windows that recall the prophet windows in Augsburg Cathedral . In 1912 he created the nave windows for the church in Herdwangen .

In September 1918 an exhibition of his work took place at the Kunstverein Munich .

The work of Eduard Stritt also includes the windows of the synagogue of the agricultural college for German Jews who were willing to emigrate, which opened in 1919 at the Markenhof in Kirchzarten - Burg , which he made based on designs by the artist Friedrich Adler (1878–1942).

In 1919/20 he created the windows for the choir of the Church of St. Martin in Freiburg and in the anteroom of its Marienkapelle, his war sacrifice memorial made of majolica for the wall of the cloister could not be realized.

In 1927 he designed fourteen stations of the cross from majolica for St. Patrick's Church in Brooklyn , which were manufactured by the majolica factory in Karlsruhe, but which were not delivered there, but are now in the parish church of St. Fides in his home parish Grafenhausen. He created a second version of these Stations of the Cross in 1929 for the 68th German Catholic Convention in Freiburg, these are now in the Maria Hilf church in Freiburg.

Stritt also created book illustrations and utility graphics.
