Eduard Stützel

Carl Heinrich Eduard Stützel, or Stietzel (11 June 1806, Berlin - after 1865)[1] was a German wood carver and sculptor.

This included statuettes of King Friedrich Wilhelm III and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, done in boxwood.

In 1840, he was summoned to Potsdam by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV, who was devoted to the construction of new building with sculptural decoration, and the restoration of old works of art.

Stützel and several other artists were engaged to create replicas for the Neues Palais.

Original busts and figures were also created, for new construction at Sanssouci and the Orangery Palace.
