Bernhard Hoetger

Bernhard Hoetger (4 May 1874 in Dortmund – 18 July 1949 in Interlaken) was a German sculptor, painter and handicrafts artist of the Expressionist movement.

After a spell at the Düsseldorf Arts Academy, he took a trip to Paris, where he was deeply influenced by Auguste Rodin, but also got to know Paula Modersohn-Becker.

During the art nouveau movement Hoetger's sculptures were sold in Paris at La Maison Moderne (LMM).

[1] He also designed the HAG-TURM, a building sponsored by Roselius's firm Kaffee HAG at the 1928 Pressa International Press Exhibition.

Café HAG had become famous for their process of decaffination and so there was also information about the bad effects of caffeine on human and animal health.
