Life

Marlies Seeliger-Crumbiegel: Swirl, electroplated with copper Ceramic plastic, B 45, H 37cm 1981

Marlies Seeliger-Crumbiegel completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter in Krefeld from 1963 to 1965 . From 1966 to 1970 she studied ceramic and porcelain design at the Werkkunstschule Krefeld under Karl Heinz Modigell and Ernst-August Sundermann . Her artistic ambitions led from 1972 to 1973 to further study sculpture in Karl Bobek's class at the Düsseldorf Art Academy . In addition, she worked as a factory teacher at a school in Kempen / Rhld. 1970–1971 she designed prototypes for the industrial production of porcelain objects as a freelancer in the design department of the Fürstenberg Porcelain Manufactory.

In 1978, Modigell appointed her as a lecturer at the ceramic and porcelain design course, which has now been integrated into the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences . Here she experimentally developed the technique of electrolytic galvanization on ceramic surfaces, which she used as a design element in her free ceramic sculptures, especially the coils . In 1981 she began her artistic collaboration with Dieter Crumbiegel , who took over the field of study. In 1983 she married him for the second time (first marriage to Robert Seeliger) and ran the “Galerie am Winterberg” in Vlotho / Weser with him until 1986. She organized exhibitions with artist friends Erich Hauser , Rottweil , Adolf Luther , Krefeld and Bernd Damke , Münster , Konrad Quillmann , Hanau and Rudolf Hermann Holst , Oldenburg.

In 1986 she moved back to Krefeld with her son Clemens, who was born in 1984. She drove with her husband to the International Ceramic Symposium in Ireland in 1980 and to the Helwan University in Cairo and took part in the events. 1983–1985 the cooperation with Dieter Crumbiegel won various competitions of the state building authorities in Bonn and Emden : the new employment office in Cologne and the marine station Borkum . In 1992 Marlies Seeliger-Crumbiegel and her husband acquired a property in Heinsberg / Rhineland, which was expanded into various studios for painting, ceramic sculpture and glass design. This is where the “Heinsberg Private Art School” was created with workshops, courses and lectures with the Galerie im End, in which modern art, in particular international prints from the 20th century, was shown.

In addition to her own artistic work, it was important for her to introduce all sections of the population to the works of art and to promote cultural life, also beyond the Heinsberg region. From 2009 until her death she was chairwoman of the Künstler-Forum Schloss Zweibrüggen e. V. She last lived and worked in Heinsberg / Rhineland.

In her honor, the family awarded the “Marlies Seeliger-Crumbiegel Prize for Fine Arts” in 2013, which is awarded to artists every two years.
