Peter Dimmel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Hans Dimmel (born August 31, 1928 in Vienna ) is an Austrian sculptor and functionary in various deaf interest groups.

Live and act

First he attended the Döblingerschule (elite school for the deaf) in Vienna, from 1943 to 1945 he studied at the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna with Robert Obsieger . From 1945 to 1949 he was a ceramist in the Angermayr ceramic workshop in Eberschwang . Before he started working as a freelancer in Linz , he attended the Linz Art School from 1949 to 1957 .

Peter Hans Dimmel was born deaf and has been committed to deaf people since 1962 . Among other things, he organized the World Congress of the Deaf in Vienna in 1995 and has been active for decades in many functions of the deaf interest group in Upper Austria and Austria:

  • 1962 to 1996 treasurer and since 1996 head of the regional association of deaf associations in Upper Austria
  • 1973 to 1985 Vice President
  • 1985 to 1997 President and since 1998 Honorary President of the Austrian Association of the Deaf
  • 1979 to 1998 chairman and since 1998 honorary chairman of the Linz Deaf Culture and Sports Association
  • Since 2003 deputy chairman of the Manus-Deaf-Theater in Linz

In this context, one of his achievements is the anchoring of Austrian sign language in the Upper Austrian state constitution (2001) and in the Austrian federal constitution (2005) as a separate language. He is the founder of the Linz specialist training course for sign language interpreters and set up an interpreting center.

He is a member of the Innviertel Artists ' Guild and, since 1953, of the MAERZ artists' association . His life's work includes more than 170 works, including many sculptures and restoration work for churches, especially with bronze. The sacred works, especially popular altars, baptismal fonts, tabernacles and Stations of the Cross were created shortly after the Second Vatican Council. Its bronze gates with figural decorations are unique (including the gate at the Linz Bishop's Court).
