Heinrich Günther-Gera , real name Heinrich Paul Günther (born September 15, 1864 in Gera , † autumn 1941 in Berlin ) was a German sculptor with a studio in Berlin-Charlottenburg.

Life

In the years 1883 to 1888 Günther-Gera was at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin founded in 1880 (offshoot of the Royal Academy of Arts in Berlin) and from 1888 to 1891 in the master's atelier student of Fritz Schaper (1841-1919), the Head of the Nude Room for Sculptors. In 1882 Anton von Werner introduced a three-year training course and a four-semester master's workshop system to promote talented students at the academy.

Even during his studies he gave himself the stage name Günther-Gera . In Berlin there were several artists with the surname Günther .

As a student in 1892, he won the travel grant for a study trip to Italy from the Dr. Paul Schultze Foundation. His competition entry was the sculpture "Judith". Half of the foundation capital was provided by the Kgl. Academy of Fine Arts, which was also responsible for the selection of a student sculptor or the rejection of all applicants for the 3,000 Mark scholarship.

Günther-Gera got directly after his academic training at the exhibition of the Kgl. Academy of Arts in Berlin in 1892 , the Award Honorable Mention , granted by King and Emperor (Kaiser Wilhelm II.). There he exhibited the award-winning sculpture "Judith".

In 1897 he was accepted as a member of the ' Association of Berlin Artists ' (VBK).

Günther-Gera was elected to the jury and hanging committee of the Great Berlin Art Exhibition in 1905. In 1910 Günther-Gera received the honorary title of Professor from the King of Prussia (Kaiser Wilhelm II) for his work in public spaces .

Günther-Gera was elected a full member of the Prussian State Art Commission in 1918.

He ran his studio at Kantstrasse 149 . The sculptors Ernst Bernardien , Alois Reinitzer and Waldemar Uhlmann also lived or worked there at times .

Günther-Gera took part in tenders for monuments and facade figures in public spaces. His design for the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Fountain in Graudenz was awarded first prize in 1904 by a jury of experts from the local monument committee and selected for implementation. The design envisaged a Valkyrie on a pedestal to which a portrait medallion of Emperor Wilhelm I was to be attached and below or around the fountain. Two ministries turned to the responsible district president in Marienwerder with the information that the Dt. Kaiser could not have decided to approve it because the planned relief plaque to honor the greatness of Wilhelm I was not in proportion to the size of the fountain. Günther then replaced the planned statue of the Valkyries on the base with a statue of Wilhelm I and replaced the plaque with the title "Wilhelm the Great" invented by Wilhelm II for Wilhelm I. The original design with Valkyrie was erected without a fountain and with a rededicated relief plaque as a Bismarck memorial in Graudenz.

In 1915, his wife Bianca Günther, née Bianca Vogdt, († February 14, 1921 ) handed control of a foundation in the amount of 300,000 marks in mortgages and mortgage Pfandbriefe for shares in seven apartment buildings to the city of Berlin. The foundation is called Bianca and Heinrich Günther Gera Foundation . It envisaged usufruct for the donors and the interest should support artists in need in the Greater Berlin area by buying works with a high artistic value from them. Single or multiple payments were also allowed for the wives and widows of those involved in the First World War . From 1926 Günther-Gera, who was now chronically ill, was granted an annual pension from the interest.

Günther-Gera had his sculptures often made from chased copper sheet or cast bronze by artisans, so that a number of his works disappeared as metal donations or expropriations during the world wars , through which monuments, bells, furnishings, etc. were supplied to the war industry. In the Second World War there was also destruction by bombs.
