Ernst Rehbein

Rehbein initially worked in Leipzig. In 1919 Christian Heinrich Kleukens founded the Kleukens bindery in Darmstadt . Ernst Rehbein became its director.

He worked in the Ernst Ludwig House of the Darmstadt artists' colony . He also worked with Albert Windisch .
Rehbein trained bookbinders, for example Karl Roters, who later worked as an interior decorator .
Rehbein designed and manufactured a large number of artistically designed book covers in different materials ( cardboard , leather , parchment , silk ) and techniques.
His bindings are now objects in collections in libraries and museums, for example in the Klingspor Museum Offenbach.
