Markus Wolf (sculptor)
Markus Wolf (born July 22, 1963 in Stuttgart ) is a German sculptor and painter who lives and works in Stuttgart- Plieningen .
Life
After graduating from high school, Markus Wolf graduated from the master class for stone sculptors in Freiburg im Breisgau . A key experience in 1994 was the planned demolition of the late Classicist tomb of the last Degerloch farm school, Wilhelm Gohl (* 1834, † 1895) on the old cemetery there . Wolf refused this assignment and then lost his job. In 1996 he took over the Pfeiffer master workshop in Stuttgart- Plieningen . Wolf specialized early on in sculptures on topics related to regional history.

Wolf became internationally known for his more than thirty Staufer steles , which were erected across Europe and remind us of the Hohenstaufen , who were Roman-German kings and emperors in the High Middle Ages .
