Life
Hermann Sehrig studied graphics at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Düsseldorf from 1910 to 1914 before he entered military service for the duration of the First World War. After the war he continued his studies at the State Art Academy in Düsseldorf . There he was Professor Ederer's master class from 1921 to 1923, at the same time and also working in the Wiegmann ceramics workshop until 1925. In 1923 he enrolled at the University of Cologne .
He then set up his own workshop in Düsseldorf with his wife, the expressionist painter Else Sehrig-Vehling (1925), which he later moved to Mülheim an der Ruhr , where he was employed as a teacher for ceramics at the municipal school from 1933.
During the Second World War he worked as a teacher at the vocational school in Straßfurt (1943) and as head of the ceramics department at the School of Applied Arts in Magdeburg (1944–1945). After the end of the war he returned to the Straßfurt vocational school, where he worked as director until 1952. In that year he took up a position as a teacher at the vocational school in Mülheim (1952–1955) after he had been involved in the reconstruction of the Magdeburg School and later the technical college for applied arts.
From 1957 Hermann Sehrig lived in Düsseldorf and San Nazzaro in Switzerland, from 1961 in Neuss , where he died in 1963 at the age of 71 after years of serious illness.

In addition to his work as a teacher, especially for ceramics, Hermann Sehrig dealt with graphic works, painting in oil and pastel, sculpture and the design of windows. While his painterly and sculptural work was largely based on the object and the colors dominated in the window designs, a stronger tendency towards simplification and abstraction can be felt in his ceramics.
His works are represented in public collections in Mülheim, in the Munster Municipal Museum, and in Düsseldorf both in the State Museum and in the Hetjens Museum (German Ceramic Museum).
