Life

Lucy Büschlepp was born in 1917 as the only child of a municipal surveyor in Bocholt, Westphalia. She completed her school education at the Mariengymnasium / Marienlyzeum Bocholt in 1937 with the Abitur and studied from 1939 to 1941 at the Folkwang School of Design in Essen near Urbach, Schardt, Pieper, Keller and Rüssing. In 1942 she married. The daughter Heide comes from his marriage to Heinz Vollbrecht. She lived in Neuroofen in Mecklenburg until her husband's death in World War II. In 1945 she returned to Bocholt and worked there as a freelance artist from then on. The rebuilding of Bocholt and the subsequent expansion of the city is linked to Vollbrecht-Büschlepp's artistic work in many ways: In and on public buildings, z. B. Mosaics in the break hall of the Euregiogymnasium and the vocational college at the water tower, tabernacle stele, altar table, choir stalls and cloister grids as well as windows of the monastery church of St. Klara, a floor mosaic in the Church of the Holy Cross, the medallion window in the great hall of the historical town hall , the glass pictures of the entrance halls of the Mariengymnasium and the St.-Georg-Gymnasium, all windows of the Mussum church Maria Trösterin. Vollbrecht-Büschlepp also created public art outside Bocholt, for example in Wesel the windows and the vine wall mosaic of St. Martini's Church as well as the bronze sculpture at the family education center, in Münster a mosaic frieze in the Salvatorian Chapel, in Hamminkeln the tomb of the The Hartmann family at the Marienthal cemetery. Wall hangings, watercolors, drawings, and collages from her hand are privately owned and only accessible to the general public in exhibitions. Many commercial graphics and drawings can be found in the issues of the magazine UNSER BOCHOLT, for which she worked for over four decades until her death.

On April 27, 2006, the district committee center renamed the street triangle Osterstrasse / Langenbergstrasse / Südmauer in Lucy-Vollbrecht-Büschlepp-Platz.

On the 100th birthday of Lucy Vollbrecht-Büschlepp, an exhibition was held in the Bocholt City Museum and Euregio-Kunsthaus.
