Heinz Quinger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinz Quinger (born August 15, 1930 in Dresden ; † August 17, 2000 ) was a German art historian and worked as a university lecturer in Dresden. He was regarded as a profound expert on the regional art history of Saxony and, in particular, of the Saxon state capital Dresden.

Life

He was the son of a Dresden shipper. After attending elementary school, he completed an apprenticeship as a decorative, lettering and advertising painter in the Saxon state capital after the Second World War, which he completed in 1949 when he received his journeyman's certificate. In 1952, Heinz Quinger was delegated to the workers and farmers faculty at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts . He then went to the Humboldt University in Berlin , where he studied art and history. He received his diploma there with distinction.

After graduating from university, Heinz Quinger became a lecturer in art history at the workers 'and farmers' faculty at the University of Fine Arts in Dresden in 1960. A year later he also became a lecturer in art history in the field of stage design.

In 1964 Quinger moved to the Pedagogical Institute in Dresden, where he became senior assistant in the art history department. In 1966 he received his doctorate at the Art History Institute of the Humboldt University in Berlin and completed his habilitation there in 1974, before he was full professor for art history at the University of Education "Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Wander" in Dresden from 1979. In 1992 he left the PH Dresden and became professor for Saxon art history at the Institute for Art and Musicology of the Philosophical Faculty of the Technical University of Dresden. Even after his retirement in 1995, he taught there until his death in 2000.

He published several art travel guides from Dresden, Pirna and the surrounding area, which are considered standard works.

Heinz Quinger died two days after his 70th birthday.
