Siegbert Goelzer

Siegbert Gölzer (* 1934 in Pirmasens ; † 1986 in Saarbrücken ) was a German designer and artist.

Life

Gölzer completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter and worked briefly as a carpenter. From 1954 to 1959 he studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart . He then worked as a designer in Finland and Switzerland, before becoming the first full professor of product design to teach at the Saarland University of Applied Sciences (now the Saar College of Fine Arts ). In 1974 he founded his own atelier for product design. Gölzer concentrated on street furniture. The arc lamps and wire basket chairs in Saarbrücken's cityscape that have survived to this day come from his designs. He also designed the typical wire mesh wicker armchairs in the waiting areas of Deutsche Bahn . They are still produced today by the Metdra company.

In 1967 Gölzer won first prize for an “optical-acoustic living element” in the inter-design 2000 competition on the subject of “Living in the year 2000”, which was advertised worldwide .
