from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hubert Stierling , complete Hubert Johannes Giesbert Emil Stierling (* July 8, 1882 in Hamburg ; † July 20, 1950 ) was a German philologist , art historian and from 1932 to 1949 director of the Altona Museum .

Life

Hubert Stierling came from a family of academics who had come to northern Germany from the Netherlands with his great-grandfather Gisbert Swartendijk Stierling at the beginning of the 19th century . He was the son of the magistrate Emil Stierling, who died two years after his birth, and his wife Olga geb. Kerstensaus (1854-1910). He attended the Katharineum in Lübeck until he graduated from high school in 1901 . He then completed his year of service as a one-year volunteer in Göttingen. He studied German , art history and Middle Latin philology at the Universities of Freiburg, Berlin, Leipzig and Göttingen. Edward Schröder , Wilhelm Meyer and Robert Vischer were among his teachers in Göttingen . As a student, he published his most successful book: an anthology of old German folk songs under the title of roses a krentzelein with illustrations by Emil Ernst Heinsdorff (1887-1948), as part of the series The Blue Books in Publishing Langewiesche to 1927 a total circulation of 75,000 Copies reached.

In 1907 he was charged with an assisted by Edward Schroeder dissertation Mechthild of Magdeburg Dr. phil. PhD. From April of that year he worked as an intern and from July 1st as a volunteer at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg . In Nuremberg he was mainly concerned with the foundry of Peter Vischer and its products.

In 1915 he came to the Altona Museum as assistant to the museum director Otto Lehmann . In 1932 he succeeded Lehmann as director of the museum and remained so until his retirement in 1949. Stierling, like Lehmann, as he wrote on the 75th anniversary of the house in 1938, viewed the museum as the folklore treasury of a province . However, during his time as director, Altona was incorporated into Hamburg through the Greater Hamburg Act , through which the museum lost its ties to and significance for the then province of Schleswig-Holstein , and the museum was partially destroyed by air raids in the second World war. Only his successor Günther Grundmann , director from 1950 to 1959, succeeded in rebuilding.

He specialized in gold and silversmiths and wrote the standard work on silver jewelry on the North Sea coast . After the devastation of the Altona synagogues in the November pogroms in 1938 , he succeeded in claiming the most important historical pieces of equipment as valuable for the museum from an art-historical point of view and thus saving them from being melted down.

Hubert Stierling was married to Sophie, b. Schäfer (* 1886), a daughter of Dietrich Schäfer .

A part of his estate, especially articles and manuscripts, is kept in the Altona Museum; his collection of material on Peter Vischer came to the Germanisches Nationalmuseum.
