Life

Franz Dospiel ran his own company in Reichenberg ( Liberec ) from 1931 to 1937 and in Bohemian-Leipa ( Česká Lípa ) from 1938 to 1945 . Dospiel again founded a stonemasonry in Weimar in 1946 . He created numerous copies of the Weimar park architecture, in the case of the Louis-Fürnberg monument, also a base for an original. The bronze head for the monumental monument to Louis Fürnberg near the Weimar City Palace in the Park on the Ilm was created by Martin Reiner in 1961 . Fürnberg, who died in Weimar on June 23, 1957, came from Czechoslovakia , as did Dospiel and Martin Reiner . Dospiel's essential importance lies in the area of monument preservation in relation to the Weimar park architecture.

The artists and sculptors Siegfried Tschierschky and Franz Dospiel built a slim obelisk made of travertine , which is crowned by the proletarian hammer and sickle symbol . The inscription indicates the date April 30, 1959. The place where it was built in Schöndorf was named Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz in 1945 .

Siegfried Tschierschky was head of the “Fine Arts” department at the Weimar University of Architecture and Construction until 1951 .
