Fritz Döllgast

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Döllgast (born January 6, 1889 in Walzlings , † May 15, 1962 in Göggingen ) was a German painter, graphic artist and drawing teacher.

Life

The son of the elementary school teacher Leonhard Döllgast and the older brother of the architect Hans Döllgast first attended the humanistic grammar school in Neuburg an der Donau , where he passed his Abitur. From 1908 to 1910 he studied at the Nuremberg School of Applied Arts and from 1910 to 1912 at the Technical University of Munich , where he passed the teaching examination for drawing and modeling on June 10, 1912. In the school year 1912/13 he taught at the Luitpold-Kreisoberrealschule in Munich , in the spring of 1914 on a temporary basis at the Kreisoberrealschule in Passau . For the school year 1914/15 he was transferred to the Maximiliansgymnasium in Munich as a temporary assistant and certified teacher training candidate for drawing and modeling for Hans Brand, who was drafted into the army . From September 1915 until the end of the war he served in the 1st Bavarian Army Corps.

From 1919 Döllgast taught at the technical college in Augsburg, from 1923 as a municipal civil servant; from 1925 he headed the graphics class, from 1932 the internal art school until the war-related closure in 1944. A serious illness ultimately led to his early retirement in 1947. His students included Hanns Weidner (1906–1981), Eugen Nerdinger (1910–1991), Hans Härtel (1912–1990), Luis Weidlich (1916–2010), Walter Prokop (* 1929), Lutz Simon (* 1929) and Georg Bernhard (* 1929). From 1938 to 1940 Marianne Weil (* 1922; deported to Auschwitz in 1943) was a student in Döllgast's graphics class.

Parallel to his teaching activities, Fritz Döllgast was also always a freelance artist and created paintings, drawings, graphics and illustrations. He was a board member of the Augsburg Art Association and the Augsburg artists' association "Die Ecke" , of which he became an honorary member in 1959.

His wife was since 1927 the craftswoman and teacher for textile design at the commercial college in Augsburg, Josy Eck (Josephine Döllgast-Eck, 1892-1984). In 1962 she gave Döllgast's artistic estate to the city of Augsburg. On the occasion of Döllgast's 80th birthday, a commemorative exhibition with works by the artist took place in the Holbeinhaus in Augsburg in 1969 . In 2005 the Augsburg city council decided to name a street in Augsburg-Göggingen as "Döllgast-Straße"
