Life

Harald Haacke completed an apprenticeship as a stone sculptor and then studied at the Berlin University of the Arts , where he was a student of Fritz Diederich and Richard Scheibe ; until his death, Haacke was also Richard Scheibe's closest collaborator. Haackes work outside of the monument preservation orders and the official orders by the Senate (medals, monuments) are based strongly on the calm plastic work of Scheibe.

In the 1970s, Haacke worked as a restorer at Charlottenburg Palace . As part of this work, he took part in an exhibition in the gallery in the Cismar monastery in the summer of 1980 under the title “Berlin sculptors from Charlottenburg Palace exhibit”. The focus was on the restoration and the posthumous implementation of a planning concept from 1705, in which six sculptors were involved, who presented both their work in the reconstruction of the palace as a monument as well as their own sculptural work. In addition to Harald Haacke, Katharina Szelinski-Singer , Karl Bobek , Joachim Dunkel, Günter Anlauf and Emanuel Scharfenberg were represented. Haacke exhibited, among other things, his sculpture Left Looking .

In 1988, Harald Haacke created a replica of the historic Gänseliesel fountain on Nikolsburger Platz in Berlin-Wilmersdorf . In 1989 he created the figure of Ännchen von Tharau on the Simon-Dach-Brunnen in the former Memel. In 1992, on behalf of Marion Countess Dönhoff, he made a replica of the former Kant monument by Christian Daniel Rauch , which had stood in front of the Königsberg University . The replica was set up on June 27, 1992 in the old square in front of the new old university .

In 1993 Haacke made a greatly enlarged version of Käthe Kollwitz 'small sculpture " Pietà " from 1938 on behalf of Federal Chancellor Helmut Kohl . This sculpture has been the central element of the Neue Wache in Berlin ever since .

Haacke was married to the sculptor Brigitte Stamm (Brigitte Haacke-Stamm).
