Jakob Schwarzkopf

Jakob Schwarzkopf (born August 18, 1926 in Koblenz , † July 11, 2001 in Trier ) was a German glass painter.

Life

Jakob Schwarzkopf was born in Koblenz on April 18, 1926. From 1948 to 1952 he studied at the Trier factory school with Heinrich Dieckmann and Peter Krisam , and from 1953 he worked with the Binsfeld glass painting workshop. Due to the destruction of the Second World War, there was a great need for new glazing for churches, so that Schwarzkopf received numerous orders in this area, and additional churches were built in many places through the creation of new building areas, which also required artistically designed glazing. Jakob Schwarzkopf died on July 11, 2001 in Trier.

Many windows made according to his designs have been restored in recent years, but the closure and conversion of churches that are no longer needed put others at risk.
