Ludwig Linzinger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludwig Max Linzinger (born June 18, 1860 in Munich , † February 14, 1929 in Linz ) was a sculptor and altar builder .

His studio in Linz delivered numerous church furnishings in Austria-Hungary at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century and was involved in many restorations.

Live and act

The son of a lithographer or gendarmerie guard entered on October 26, 1878 after attending grammar school and training with the sculptors Johann B. Wirth and Joseph Rheingruber in Munich, where he had the opportunity to copy Gothic sculptures specially from Franconia the Academy of Fine Arts Munich to the sculpture school of Joseph Knabl . Due to lack of money he worked as an assistant and employee u. a. in Munich, Regensburg , Augsburg , Amberg and Mainz as well as in Linz in 1889, initially as a foreman at K. Maurer, and in 1890 he started his own studio.

The powerful company, expanded by various employees (J. Furthner, F. Gedon, M. Rauscher), created numerous church furnishings, carried out many restorations and delivered sculptural works to all crown lands , partly also overseas. Some stations of the cross looked very stencil-like, while other works were adapted to the late baroque and neo-Gothic styles. As a result of the church redesign from the second half of the 20th century, a large part of the works created by Linzinger disappeared from the churches.
