Hans Steinbrenner (sculptor)

Hans Theodor Steinbrenner[1] (25 March 1928 – 18 June 2008) was a German painter and sculptor based in Frankfurt who focused on abstract figures in wood and stone.

[1] After World War II, he studied at the Werkkunstschule in Offenbach am Main (now Hochschule für Gestaltung) from 1946 to 1949.

[6] Together with his brother, he had Große Holzfigur (Great wooden figure) exhibited at the 1964 documenta III in Kassel.

[5] In 2023, celebrating his 95th birthday, his sculptures there were temporarily juxtaposed to works by friends, students and colleagues, sculptors Dietz Eilbacher, Dietrich Heller, Georg Hüter [de], Jens Trimpin [de] and Thomas Vinson, and the Georgian painter Avto Berdznishvilis.

[5] Several of Steinbrenner's works are in public space, including in Bochum, Bottrop, Bremen, Gießen, Heidelberg, Kaiserslautern and Marl.
