Live and act

Friedrich Büchelberger

Büschelberger came from a family of artists. His grandfather Georg Friedrich Christian and his father Anton Büschelberger were already active as painters and sculptors. From 1925 he studied at the State Academy for Applied Arts in Dresden with Professors Karl Albiker and Groß. It followed in 1927 another study at the Dresden University of Fine Arts . There he became a master student of Professor Georg Wrba . In 1929 he received a certificate of honor, the academy's highest honor. Two recognitions followed in 1930 and 1931. From 1931 he worked independently in Dresden, in 1938 he moved with his family to Aurich / East Friesland and in 1947 was a founding member and board member of the Association of Visual Artists (BBK) district group Aurich. In the same year, together with Josef Stader, he founded the East Frisian arts and crafts group .

Since 1954 he had a second residence in Titisee in the Black Forest , but kept a studio in Aurich until 1986. From 1973 to 1986 the city of Aurich made the tea house available to him as a studio, a classicist building built in 1803 by the Aurich architect Conrad Bernhard Meyer as a garden house for Christian Bernhard Conring . Today the tea house (as an art pavilion ) is the seat of the Aurich Art Association.

The main focus of his artistic activity was realistic animal sculptures , most of which he made in bronze in collaboration with the Kraas art foundry in Berlin. The best-known works in public space are: Stone throwing bear in Esens, Knight Balthasar on the Esenser market square, group of bears at the district house in Aurich, moor farmers ("Look old man, all the money is gone") in front of the Historical Museum in Aurich, climbing bear in the Großefehn kindergarten, Dolphin fountain in front of the former Aurich water and shipping directorate, boy with fish in front of the Aurich health department, crowing rooster in the building of the Weser-Ems district government, Saint Florian in the house of the volunteer fire brigade in Haxtum, boy with a boat in front of the Cirksena school (formerly Dollart school) in Emden district Port Arthur / Transvaal, double group in the depot in Weener, reliefs in the Emden town hall., The sgraffito goods handling on the administration building of the Emden ship equipment at the Emden harbor

In Titisee in the southern Black Forest you can find a memorial in sgraffito technology to commemorate the victims of both world wars in the blessing hall of the cemetery .

In 1998 the Kunstverein Aurich dedicated its jubilee exhibition on the occasion of the tenth anniversary in the tea house (today the art pavilion) to the life's work of Friedrich Büschelberger. Works by the artist can occasionally be found in auction shops.
