Friedrich Buhmann (sculptor)
Friedrich August Louis Buhmann (born December 29, 1875 in Alfeld (Leine) , † September 13, 1960 in Wuppertal ) was a German sculptor and restorer .
Life
Friedrich Buhmann was born in Alfeld as the son of Heinrich Christian Buhmann (1841–1884) and his wife Sophie, née Steger (1845–1916).
He lived in Hanover as a child after the death of his father , where he was apprenticed to the sculptor August Bohne . In 1895 he began his wandering years , first settling in Braunschweig in 1900 , but went back to Hanover in 1901 and joined the sculptor workshop of Wilhelm Baenke , which he did a few years later, the year after the birth of his son Christian ( * 1906) took over in 1907.
At the time of National Socialism and the Second World War , for which the Nazis were responsible , Buhmann's house and workshop were destroyed by aerial bombs during the air raids on Hanover in 1943 .
After Friedrich Buhmann initially set up a new workshop in Riehe near Bad Nenndorf after the end of the war , he later relocated it to Hanover in Seilerstraße in the Südstadt district . From 1950 Christian Buhmann continued his father's workshop and until 1970 the restoration work started by his father in the former Lamspringe monastery .
Friedrich Buhmann was married to Berta Auguste, née Schiegert (1880–1947), from 1902. He died in Wuppertal in 1960.
