Life

Heinrich Düll was the son of a sculptor and teacher at the Nuremberg School of Applied Arts . He first attended the arts and crafts school in Munich , where the sculptor Anton Heinrich Hess and the architect Leonhard Romeis were among his teachers. From 1887 to 1892 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts a . a. with the sculptor Syrius Eberle and the architect Friedrich von Thiersch .

In 1885 he met Georg Pezold at the arts and crafts school , with whom he was a lifelong friend and worked closely.

In 1894 Düll moved to the Munich suburb of Bogenhausen , which is increasingly popular with artists and writers , where he shared a studio with Pezold at Möhlstrasse 31 .

In 1896 Heinrich Düll, Georg Pezold and Max Heilmaier received the order for a peace memorial above the Prinzregententerrasse after a competition had not resulted in a winner. The foundation stone for the work known today as the Angel of Peace was laid on May 1, 1896, and inaugurated on July 16, 1899.

Düll married Pauline Selmayr (1884–1960) in 1908, whose father Josef Selmayr was a respected landowner and mayor of Bogenhausen until it was incorporated in Munich.

He played the recorder and initially performed with Bavarian folk music, opera arrangements and marches and, from 1897, with the Bogenhauser artists' band, which he co-founded, as an early representative of the historical performance practice of old masters.

After severe war damage to the villa in Bogenhausen, Düll spent his old age in Frauenchiemsee. He was buried in the local cemetery.
