from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

life and work

Rudolf Scheibenzuber was born as a third child in the school in Huldsessen / Lower Bavaria. His father was a teacher there. Stature and musical talent were his father's inheritance, his mother Maria inherited his artistic talent. Like his father, he became a teacher and initially worked from 1894 to 1901 as an assistant teacher in Hohenau in the Bavarian Forest, and from 1901 until his retirement in 1942 as a senior teacher or headmaster at the Nikola School in Landshut. He used a break in 1913 for head and nude studies with Professor Hermann Groeber at the Art Academy in Munich.

His subjects were usually motifs of his rural and small town surroundings. It is the Lower Bavarian landscape on both sides of the Isar, the architecture of the cities, primarily Landshut from 1901, the villages and farms. The pictures show the rural and petty bourgeois life, the country and its people, their customs and costumes. He illustrated texts, illustrated children's books, often with his own verse, city and castle guides (Landshut), reading books, calendars and magazines (Bayerland, youth papers). Sometimes he worked as a commercial artist in his hometown, drawing, writing and painting certificates, along with exotic series of pictures (Wild West, Africa and the Orient).

Before 1900 Scheibenzuber designed postcards in the graphic style of his time, often on behalf of innkeepers who were keen to advertise. Last but not least, as a teacher, he designed a series of colored hardworking pictures for his school children. His mostly small sketches, lovable small-format drawings and watercolors are above all realistic picture reports. The naturalistic representations from bygone times are often meticulous, true to detail, the proportions of the architecture and its perspective exact. Three passions accompanied his life, drawing (and painting), sniffing and collecting old Kröninger pottery from 1913–1935.

In 1954, the 80-year-old Scheibenzuber was honored with the Federal Cross of Merit on ribbon.
