Live and act

Renate Fleischmann, born in Dresden, had Franconian origins. Her father was a doctor and came from Forchheim . He was a high school student in Bamberg. She was significantly impressed by the father's interest in history and especially in the history of Bamberg. She grew up in Großröhrsdorf and graduated from high school in 1956. She was not allowed to study in the workers and peasants state . From 1956 she studied art history , classical archeology and modern history at the University of Erlangen . Your academic teacher was Karl Oettinger . Instead of the art-historical method of style criticism, which was predominant at the time, she concentrated on the archival sources. She received her doctorate in 1963 with a thesis on Bamberg sculpture between 1470 and 1520. After graduating, she married and moved to Bamberg with her husband. The marriage resulted in two sons in 1965 and 1968. Her husband taught at a Bamberg high school. In 1978 she was employed on a fee basis in the Bamberg Diocesan Museum. Two years later she was working part-time, which was increased to three-quarters in 1984. On September 1, 1991, she succeeded Bruno Neundorfer and took over the provisional management of the Diocesan Museum. As a Protestant she was the director of a Catholic museum. She headed the museum until 2002. A commemorative publication was dedicated to her on her 65th birthday. Your scientific estate is in the Bamberg State Library .

She made great contributions to the redesign of the museum and thereby to bring its treasures closer to the public through exhibitions. She expanded the Bamberg Diocesan Museum into a prestigious exhibition and research facility. She also emerged as the author of several exhibition catalogs and investigations into detailed problems of sacred art. Her dissertation on Bamberg sculpture became a standard work. The scientific value of the work, according to Tilmann Breuer, lies in the “re-evaluation of Bamberg art of the late Middle Ages and early modern times, which it was able to step out of the shadow of Nuremberg”. In 1988, in her investigation of the "inscriptions" on the starry cloak of Henry II, she took the view that it was made in a Regensburg workshop and that it was only completed after 1020. She justified this with stylistic parallels in the initials of manuscripts of Regensburg provenance. Until then, inscriptions woven, embroidered or applied to fabric had not yet been subjected to an epigraphic investigation. In contrast, Horst Enzensberger assumed that it was made in southern Italy. According to Enzensberger, such parallels can be observed in manuscripts both north and south of the Alps. Given the origin of the founder Meles von Bari , an emergence south of the Alps is the more likely possibility.
