Georg Schubert , also Georg Schubert-Blümling (born May 8, 1899 , in Landeshut / Silesia (today Kamienna Góra ), † 1968 ) was a German sculptor living in Frankenthal (Palatinate) .

Live and act

Schubert studied from 1923 at the art and trade school in Breslau , then at the art school in Munich .

He married Maria Blümling from a long-established Frankenthal sculptor's workshop and from then on carried the double name Schubert-Blümling . In Frankenthal, Palatinate , he primarily made qualitative grave monuments, but also memorials and memorial stones in public spaces. His wife died in 1947. In 1948 Georg Schubert married his sculptor student Verena Andres, with whom he continued the business and with whom he carried out various projects, including the 1962 memorial to the Second World War at the Frankenthal main cemetery. After the death of her husband, she continued to run the sculpting company and became a regionally important artist herself.

In Grünstadt-Asselheim around 1935, Georg Schubert created a memorial for those who fell in the First World War , signed “Gg. Schubert ” . It shows a kneeling German soldier with a steel helmet , who is holding a sword in one hand and Asselheim's coat of arms in the other.

The monumental war memorial on Frankenthaler Jahnplatz was created in 1936 in collaboration with Walter Perron . The Siegfried statue at the Frankenthal lido is also a work by Georg Schubert from the 1930s.

To the east of Frankenthal-Studernheim , in the extension of Oppauer Straße, Schubert made a large sandstone crucifix in 1953. It is a cross of vows of the Catholic parish, in case Studernheim, despite its proximity to the industrial site Ludwigshafen am Rhein , is spared major war damage. The artist carved the Christ figure in the middle section out of the solid stone on the spot. The work is signed on the side with: "Schubert-Blümling, Frankenthal, Fecit" .

In Bobenheim-Roxheim (district Bobenheim ) he designed a wayside cross as a war memorial in 1939/45 in 1958 .

At the exit of Frankenthal, in the direction of Bobenheim-Roxheim, directly in front of the driveway to BAB 6 , there is a memorial stone with the Berlin coat of arms and the inscription "Berlin 600 km" . It was set up by the Frankenthal city administration on June 17, 1964 and was also made by Georg Schubert.
