Hubertus von der Goltz (* 1941 in Gross Bestendorf, Mohrungen district , East Prussia ) is a German sculptor and installation artist .

Von der Goltz has lived in Berlin since 1964, where he studied piano construction and business administration at Steinway & Sons in Hamburg from 1968 to 1977 at the Berlin University of Fine Arts . In 1976 he was a master student of Joachim Schmettau . In 1978/79 he received a scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service in Florence. In 1980 he was given a teaching position at the Berlin University of Fine Arts. Hubertus von der Goltz is a member of the German Association of Artists , he lives in Potsdam.

The main theme of the artist's work is the relationship between people and space, whereby transitions and bridges are considered to be symbols for social and psychological problems that people have to overcome. Goltz's figures, reduced to silhouettes, are therefore often depicted as balancing over an abyss. Several of his figures were shown in the former campaign nail factory in Hamburg in 1984, and in 1985 his installation Above the Abyss was installed on the Götzenturm in Heilbronn.

In 2000 von der Goltz founded the Kunsthaus Potsdam together with Frank Michael Zeidler and in 2002 initiated the Kunstverein Kunsthaus Potsdam eV
