Guido Jendritzko studied from 1950 to 1956 at the University of Fine Arts in Berlin as a master class student of Karl Hartung . In 1957 he received a scholarship from the Kulturkreis der deutschen Wirtschaft . In the same year he received the German Critics' Prize from the Association of German Critics. V. in the visual arts division . In 1959 Jendritzko was a participant in Documenta II in Kassel in the plastic department . In 1960 he was awarded the Villa Romana Prize . Guido Jendritzko had been a lecturer at the former Werkkunstschule Wuppertal since 1964 and until 1990 professor for free sculpture at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal .

Always committed to cultural policy, Guido Jendritzko, for example, took part constructively in the Wuppertal debate on the question of the new Von der Heydt Museum in the early 1970s . On behalf of the specially constituted "Working Group for the New Museum", a citizens' initiative, and in association with the happening artist and lecturer at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts Bazon Brock and the poet and lecturer at the Wuppertal Adult Education Center for literature and art, Gerd Hergen Lübben , Jendritzko urged the public of the sessions of an originally planned “non-public hearing” with selected “museum experts”. Jendritzko's demand was successful in that the public was then admitted, but not the participation of the citizens' initiative, which was also requested. - The text “NEW MUSEUM.” Presented by Guido Jendritzko together with the lecturers Gerd Hergen Lübben and Edgar Bach caused a stir in the media and included it in the public discussion. A concept "The Neue Ruhr Zeitung (NRZ) noted:" The authors assume that art will no longer float in the aesthetic freedom of society. The new museum should work towards expanding the knowledge, awareness and activity of its visitors ”; and the “distribution plan” drawn up by Jendritzko for the new museum concept led to the NRZ exclamation: “As if it were a new poem! It looks like avant-garde poetry. "

He died five days after unknown supporters of the Borussia Dortmund club knocked him over in Wuppertal main station on September 26, 2009 . The autopsy showed, however, that he had apparently not died directly from the consequences of the fall injuries suffered, but from pneumonia.

Guido Jendritzko was a member of the German Association of Artists .
