Life

Heinrich Nüßlein grew up in a petty bourgeois environment as the son of fine gold beater Franz Ludwig Nüßlein and his wife Marie, nee. Birkel, up. He attended elementary school and then completed training in book printing, typesetting and bookbinding. The subsequent study of painting at the Nuremberg State Art School, he broke off after a year because of his poor eyesight. Instead he worked for the next 15 years at the Art Institute Dr. Trenkler & Co. , for which he took artistic photographs, among other things. In 1913 he began to get involved in the Nuremberg art and antiques trade. He was also active as a painter. As an autodidact, he developed his own technique in which he painted occult motifs in a trance state. He created numerous works that were exhibited in the London Alpine Club Gallery and Chester Gallery as well as in the Roerich Museum in New York. They aroused great interest from art critics and the media due to their peculiarity. In 1923 Nüßlein acquired Kornburg Castle , where after renovation work a public exhibition of around 1,000 paintings was opened. He also published writings on metaphysical, religious and scientific subjects. He described himself as a "psychic painter and metaphysical writer". His interests included, among other things, the color and tone research led by Georg Anschütz , on which he gave a lecture at a congress in Hamburg in 1930. In 1932 Nüßlein lived in Nuremberg, Königstorgraben 7. He was with Leopoldine, born in Budapest, from Budapest. Schmeitzl married. The son Wilhelm (* 1912) emerged from the marriage. During the time of National Socialism , Nüßlein’s artistic work was considered “un-German”, and many of his paintings were confiscated and destroyed or stolen by the Gestapo .
