biography
From 1924 to 1932 Sieger attended eight classes in an elementary school . He then began an apprenticeship as a decorative painter in Görlitz and followed this path until 1936. In the same year he became a soldier and was initially deployed on the Western and Eastern Fronts during World War II . At the end of the war he was taken prisoner in Styria, but was later released. In 1946 he started his trained profession as a decorative painter. From 1947 to 1948 he went to the technical school for applied arts in Leipzig , where Walter Münze and Karl Miersch taught. He had to end his training early in order to be able to support his family in Rathmannsdorf . In 1949 he took part as a layman in an exhibition of the Union for Art in Pirna and was delegated from there to the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts . From 1950 to 1955 was under the direction of professors Rudolf Bergander , Erich Fraaß and Paul Michaelis at the University of Fine Arts in Dresden . In 1956 Sieger was then a facade designer and was part of the construction team in Hoyerswerda , where he had completed around 60 works in sgraffito , glass mosaic and silicate by 1960 . After this time he worked as a freelance painter in Cottbus , where he designed two murals from Meissen porcelain in 1968 and 1969 . It was not until 1964 and 1965 that he taught at the College of Construction. In 1972 he moved to Frankfurt (Oder) and in 1980 to Zempin (island of Usedom ) to work as a freelancer there. He died there at the age of 85.
