Life
After a four-year apprenticeship with a wood sculptor, Moshage studied from 1912 to 1926 with Heinrich Waderé at the Munich School of Applied Arts . In between, he continued his studies as a wood carver from 1919 at the well-known wood carving school Bad Warmbrunn with Cirillo Dell'Antonio . From 1926 until 1931 he was a student with Joseph Wackerle at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich . In the 1920s he was one of those artists in Munich who designed the numerous annual plaques for the art foundry " Lauchhammer Kunstguss GmbH ".
He made study trips to France , Belgium , Italy and Austria until he finally moved to Düsseldorf in 1932. He later worked as a sculptor in Düsseldorf and Munich .
Moshage was a master of medals and portrait sculpture . He has made a particular contribution to the revival of artistic iron casting. He worked particularly well with the Buderus iron foundry . At Moshage's suggestion, Buderus decided in 1950 to set up an art foundry in Hirzenhain . His works are now in galleries and state collections at home and abroad.
Mines and mining museums still have the 1.30 meter high statue of Saint Barbara cast, the shape of which Moshage had designed in 1930.
