Heinrich Bücker (church painter)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Bücker (also Heinrich Friedrich Bücker and Fritz Bücker ; born before 1897 ; died after 1958 ) was a German art and church painter and restorer .

Life

Heinrich Bücker was first listed as a "decorative painter" in the address book of the city of Hanover in 1897 , at the time residing at Flüggestraße 28. From 1899 he lived in the house at Große Pfahlstraße 16.

On October 30, 1900, Bücker enrolled as a guest student at the Technical University of Hanover . From 1902 he completed an apprenticeship at the Hanover crafts and arts and crafts school . There he won a second prize in the “Decorative Painting” competition in the same year, as well as an honorable mention for his work.

After the fire in the Maria Magdalenen Church in Wildemann in the Upper Harz Mountains in 1914, "the well-made painting [of the reconstructed church] was done in light, light tones by the church painter Bücker in Hanover."

From 1914, Hanover's address book listed "HF Bückers" as a master painter with residence at Gretchenstraße 39. The same periodical published the painter Friedrich Bücker as a painter at Gretchenstraße 2 from 1923 to 1939. No address information was found for the artist during the Second World War . Only in the post-war period could the Hanoverian address books 1948/49 to 1958 prove the residence of the painter Heinrich Bücker at Weißenkreuzstrasse 28.
