Otto Häusser , also Otto Häußer, (* March 1905 in Sulzbach / Saar , † 1979 ibid) was a German sculptor.
Life
Häusser was born in Sulzbach in the Saarland in 1905. He completed his training as a stonemason in his father's workshop and studied sculpture at the State Art and Applied Arts School in Saarbrücken from 1925 to 1928, where he was a student of Christoph Voll . In 1928 he moved to the Badische Landeskunstschule in Karlsruhe as a master student of Voll, who had moved there in the same year. In 1935 Häusser returned to Saarbrücken and settled here as a freelance sculptor.
In 1939, Häusser went to Berlin for further training, where he also married the sculptor Johanna Breuer. During this time, the granite sculpture seated , which the Saarland Museum acquired in 1952, was created. The following year he became head of Arno Breker's studio in Berlin. For this, Häusser received a "certificate of indispensability" and did not have to do military service. After 1944/45 he lived on Lake Starnberg .
In 1948, Häusser returned to Sulzbach and became a member of the Association of Visual Artists on the Saar. In 1957 he worked in the context of restoration work on the Saarbrücken Castle Church . Two years later he designed the milestone “Berlin 755 km” on the traffic island of the Wilhelm-Heinrich-Brücke in Saarbrücken. In 1964 he made two pillar vases in the Baroque style for the staircase on Ludwigsplatz on behalf of the city of Saarbrücken and designed a monument to the division of Germany in the Sulzbach city park. His preferred motifs included depictions of miners and smelters.
