Life
Robert Stieler was a master student of Fritz Klimsch and then of Richard Scheibe at the Prussian Academy of the Arts . His artistically most successful period was in the 1930s. On January 7, 1935, he won the Grand State Prize of the Academy of Arts and was recognized in the specialist literature as a promising talent of a new generation of sculptors. The sculptures often depict naked athletes such as "pugilists" or "athletes". 1935/1936 scholarship holders stay at the Villa Massimo in Rome.
After the Second World War , Stieler worked as a stonemason and restorer in southwest Germany. In 1956 he created two large sandstone tablets with the names of the parishioners who perished and were missing from the Protestant parish in Mannheim-Friedrichsfeld in the two world wars.
From 1951 until his death in 1967 Robert Stieler worked for the Bad Windsheim parish on a copy of the Twelve Messenger Altar by Tilman Riemenschneider . During this time he made the center shrine and started with the right wing. From 1968 to 1970 the Riemenschneider copy was completed by the Würzburg sculptor Anton Johann Rausch and has been in the Seekapelle in Bad Windsheim since 1988.
