Kurt Feuerriegel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kurt Feuerriegel (born January 6, 1880 in Meißen , † June 16, 1961 in Frohburg ) was one of the most important art ceramists of the 20th century in Saxony.

After studying at the Royal Saxon School of Applied Arts in Dresden, he went to Frohburg as a self-employed ceramist to revitalize the pottery trade in the former pottery town. Kurt Feuerriegel has left numerous traces in the region. The best known are the pottery fountain on the market square in Kohren-Sahlis and the potter girl in Frohburg . But traces of his artistic work can also be found in other places. An extensive collection of his work is shown in the Museum of the City of Frohburg.
