Lotte Elisabeth Rosenbusch , b. Walz (born September 1, 1924 in Tübingen ; † November 13, 2010 in Ulm ) was a German painter and restorer . She made a name for herself with the restoration of the “ Dockenkastens ” from the Ulm Museum with figures from the 18th century.

Life

Lotte Walz was born in Tübingen. After the early death of her father, she moved with her mother to relatives in Neu-Ulm in 1933 .

Due to the war , the company moved to nearby Kleinkötz near Günzburg in 1945 . In the same year she met her schoolmate, the painter Werner Rosenbusch, again. Their first artistic trips together followed and they married in 1949. At her husband's side, Lotte came into contact with Ulm artists who formed the artists' guild. Both took part in their numerous exhibitions.

Werner Rosenbusch received a scholarship from the city of Ulm in 1954 for a six-month stay in Italy . The couple traveled together; they initially stayed in Rome for three months and then toured the country. Liguria , Venice and Umbria became the destination of trips almost every year. In addition, Lake Constance , the Wachau and Salzburg were important places of inspiration for the work of both artists. In 1962 the son Fabian was born.

From the mid-1950s, Lotte Rosenbusch exhibited regularly in group exhibitions or together with her husband in Ulm and the surrounding area. The highlights were two large solo exhibitions in Ulm in 1969 and 1981.

From the 1970s, Lotte Rosenbusch also made a name for herself as a doll and dollhouse restorer as well as a doll collector. The dock box from the Ulm Museum was brought to the Rosenbusch's house in 1975 and determined Lotte Rosenbusch's work there for a long time, both as a restorer of the figures and the interior furnishings of the various rooms and as a painter. A collection of Dockenkasten watercolors was created that artistically documented the inventory. The dock box and the artistic processing by Lotte Rosenbusch are a special treasure for the Ulm museum landscape. “The desire to detach individual objects or figures from their larger surroundings and make them visible in pictures was an obvious one. Maybe something of the magic of the role models is captured in them. "

The laudation by Helga Müller on the occasion of the second major solo exhibition in the Ulm Museum provided information on the art-historical classification of Lotte Rosenbusch's artistic forms of expression.

Lotte Rosenbusch died on November 13, 2010 in Ulm.

A retrospective exhibition on the artistic work of the artist couple Lotte and Werner Rosenbusch was realized in September 2016 in the museum of the Ulm district of Söflingen, where the couple lived from the 1970s until Lotte's death.
