Life
Designed in 1902 by Leissring in Hanover, cast by Förster & Kracht in Düsseldorf
Wilhelm Leissring worked in Hanover in the mid-1890s as a sculptor and teacher at the local crafts and arts and crafts school there . At the time, he lived privately in an apartment building at Goethestrasse 3A. Around the same time, he published various editions for drawing after plastic ornaments through the Leipzig-based publisher EA Seemann . The inexpensive version for 2 marks with the subtitle A systematic course included twelve lithographic plates with text in a folder. The variant with 12 plaster models "with 55 individual motifs and a decorative form, including packaging" was more expensive and available for 60 marks. At the end of the 19th century, "Leissring - Hanover" brought such "instructive models for drawing based on the plaster model" onto the teaching material market alongside its competitors "Baum - Berlin, Hesser - Munich, Huttenlocher - Stuttgart".
Leissring was also known as the “ Viennese sculptor”. For a while, he can be found in Weyringergasse 24 in the 4th district of Vienna.
