Live and act
Lind began his sculptural training at the Mannheim Evening Academy . From 1922 to 1926 he attended the private sculpture class of the later Professor Josef Henselmann in Munich , 1926–1928 he studied with Professor Valmore Gemignani (1879–1958) at the Florence Art Academy .

During this creative period the war memorials in Bobenheim am Rhein and in Ellerstadt , the facade figure “Dear Home” , in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse and the altar of the Prot. Church Freinsheim were created.
Franz Lind took part in the Second World War as a soldier . After his return he stayed in Freinsheim and worked there again as a sculptor. During this time he made several monuments, e.g. B. in Beindersheim , in Böhl , in Haßloch , in Bad Dürkheim and in Ungstein . In Ludwigshafen he created the facade reliefs of the Lukaskirche in 1960, in Münchweiler an der Rodalb in 1961 a Paul relief on the bell tower of the Ev. Church.
