Artist
Helmut Hacker obtained many of his motifs directly from his home in Hausach in the Black Forest. The deep admiration and admiration of Albrecht Dürer prompted him to translate some of the works of the great Franconian master into glass painting. Examples are the self-portrait of Albrecht Dürer and the well-known Dürer work Knight, Death and the Devil . Many of the coats of arms created by him, ranging from the simplest to the richest, in a stylish manner, as a gift or commissioned as an honor, now adorn windows in official and private houses. The handicraft coats of arms in the town hall of his hometown Hausach are exemplary.
