Peter Stammen (born September 29, 1886 in Krefeld , † 1958 in Düsseldorf ) was a German sculptor .

life and work

Fountain at Barbarossaplatz (2018)

Stammen studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule Krefeld, at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main and at the Academy in Düsseldorf . In 1913 he created the Siegfried von Kaldenkirchen war memorial , which commemorated the fallen soldiers of the place in the wars of 1864, 1866 and 1870/71. The large bowl fountain Barbarossabrunnen in Düsseldorf-Oberkassel , designed by him in 1912 and completed in 1925, was extensively renovated on the occasion of the 100th anniversary in 2012. The Kaiser Friedrich monument he created in Krefeld in 1914 has not been preserved; it was melted down during the Second World War . The Kaiser-Friedrich-Hain is still named after the gilded bronze bust. He also designed the monument of honor in Uerdingen in 1930 , which, atypical for the time it was built, largely dispenses with military symbols and depicts a sower who sows a peaceful future in the fields of past wars, as well as numerous small sculptures and monuments, including the allegorical statues above the portal of the grammar school at Moltkeplatz in Krefeld and the Hochwaldmadonna carved in 1948 in the Sankt Paulinuskirche in Beuren .
