Life
Siegmund Frank learned porcelain painting in Nuremberg. His goal was to rediscover the forgotten art of stained glass . He completed his first stained glass artwork in 1804. From 1814 he worked at Prince Wallerstein's castle . In 1818 King Ludwig I of Bavaria finally called him to Munich, where he dealt with the large-scale production of stained glass objects. In 1828, for example, he made the windows for the Regensburg Cathedral . The glasses in the Auerkirche in Munich and those in the King Otto Chapel near Kiefersfelden also come from him. He was later appointed to the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory in Munich. There he took over the technical management of the newly founded institute for stained glass in 1827.
