Life

He settled in Düsseldorf as a freelance sculptor and was involved in the local “Association of Academic Sculptors”, which sought to represent the interests of the Rhenish sculptors against the competition from Berlin. In 1903 he moved to Berlin , where he carried out several orders from Kaiser Wilhelm II , including the statue of Wilhelm III. von Orange-Nassau on the pleasure garden terrace of the Berlin Palace . Heinrich Bauke died in Ratingen on April 12 or 13, 1915.
