Martin Gosebruch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Gosebruch (born June 20, 1919 in Essen , † September 17, 1992 in Braunschweig ) was a German art historian .

Martin Gosebruch was the son of the art historian Ernst Gosebruch , who was director of the Museum Folkwang in Essen from 1909 , but had to give up this post after pressure from the National Socialists in September 1933. The family then moved to Berlin, where Martin Gosebruch passed his Abitur in 1937 at the Bismarck Gymnasium . This was followed by labor service and drafting into the Wehrmacht , participation in World War II and imprisonment in Canada. After his return, Gosebruch studied art history, classical archeology and philosophy at the University of Munich from 1947 and received his doctorate in 1950 under Hans Jantzen on the subject of "The visual power of Burgundian sculpture in the early 12th century". He then went to the Hamburger Kunsthalle as an assistant and then received a two-year scholarship from the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome. In 1958 he completed his habilitation at the University of Freiburg with the thesis "Florentine capitals from Brunelleschi to Tempio Malatestiano and the style of the early Renaissance". He then taught for a few years as a private lecturer in Freiburg. In 1965 he was appointed to the newly created chair for art history at the Technical University of Braunschweig , which he held until his retirement in 1986. Since 1971 he has been a full member of the Braunschweig Scientific Society .

His research focused on the early and high medieval art history of France, Italy, Germany, the Renaissance in Italy, the art of the 20th century and the methodology of art history. Above all, however, he devoted himself to the art history of Lower Saxony, the research of which was undertaken by the "Commission for Lower Saxony Building and Art History", which was part of the Braunschweig Scientific Society and was headed by him. Gosebruch continued the series of art history symposia started in this context, in which not only specialist colleagues but also a number of his students had their say, even after his retirement.

Gosebruch had been with Ina-Marie Gosebruch, born in 1948. Körner (1923-2006) married, with whom he had two daughters and a son, the artist Thomas Gosebruch (* 1951). The opera singer Herbert Gosebruch , who fell in 1945, was an older brother of his.
