Jenny von Bary-Doussin (born April 14, 1874 in Bunzlau as Jenny L. Stef. Doussin , † August 16, 1922 in Munich ) was a German sculptor .

Life

She was the daughter of the landowner Etienne Doussin and his wife Jenny née Lattermann from Bunzlau in the Prussian province of Silesia . Her emerging interest in sculpture turned her into a profession. After her children by marriage were out of toddler age, she opened her studio in Munich's Hohenzollernstrasse for the first time in 1913 . The enormous popularity of her sculptural works led Jenny von Bary-Doussin to build a larger studio combined with a new house for the family. A corner plot of land at Possartstrasse 37 was acquired in the Bogenhausen district , on which the Munich architect Paul Böhmer built a villa with a studio in the South German Heimatstil , which was completed in 1914. Shortly after the family moved into the house, the neighboring, even more spacious house in the Sternenwinkel at 35 Possartstrasse became vacant. In 1915, Jenny moved there with her family. She died seven years later.
