Ludwig Kubanek (born February 3, 1877 in Graz , † 1929 in Freiburg im Breisgau ) was a Baden sculptor and plasterer .

Ludwig Kubanek received his training at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich .

His most famous works in Freiburg im Breisgau include the water carrier of the Rau fountain from 1909, now on the potato market, and the figures of the Ochsenbrücke from 1912. Both works were created based on designs by the Freiburg architect Carl Anton Meckel .

From 1907 to 1913 Kubanek worked with Hans Weißburger (1876–1951) from Riedlingen in a joint workshop. In 1909 and 1910, the two of them re-stuccoed the monastery church of St. Märgen , which burned down in 1907 after being struck by lightning. Partly imitating what was destroyed, partly freely designing, they made the stucco ceiling of the nave, the angel putti at the vestibule entrances, the cartouche above the choir arch, the music arrangements on the gallery balustrade and all five altars. They also freely designed the stucco of the grace chapel with the Romanesque miraculous image, which is carried by two original angels Matthias Faller . "The St. Märgener Church is ... an excellent example of high-quality neo-baroque from the time before the First World War, the value of which is becoming increasingly clear in the present."

For the Basel Heiliggeistkirche , which was built from 1911 onwards according to plans revised by Carl Anton Meckel and his father Max Meckel , Weißburger & Kubanek created the building sculpture and the neo-baroque font for the Heilig Geist church in Lahr- Dinglingen.

For the Freiburg City Theater , which was largely destroyed in the Second World War , Kubanek and five of his colleagues made plaster models by Hermann Feuerhahn from 1906 . In 1919 Kubanek was responsible for the design of the Neunlinden Chapel in Elzach .

In 1912 he created a bronze roebuck for a fountain by Brenzinger & Cie. in the Bodlesau. After this was stolen and sawed up in 1923, Kubanek made a second cast of the original model in August 1924 at a price of 1,050 gold marks . After the figure fell victim to the metal donation ordered in May 1942, it was cast again after the Second World War.

Weißburger and Kubanek's studio moved from Reichsgrafenstrasse 12 to Kirchstrasse 44. Kubanek later worked in Friedhofstrasse, where he had a house built. There are numerous tombs from Kubanek's workshop in the neighboring Freiburg main cemetery .

After training as a technical draftsman, the later sculptor Nikolaus Röslmeir worked in Kubanek's studio.
