Hans Steinlein (1872 in Trier - 1958) was a German sculptor of religious art who, from his studio in Eltville am Rhein, made a number of important altars and other objects for churches in the Saarland area.
Steinlein was born into a family of wheelwrights and in 1886 finished his training in a ceramics shop in Trier.
He collaborated frequently with the Mainz architect and church builder Ludwig Becker.
The ravages of World War II and the iconoclasm of the post-WWII area destroyed much of Steinlein's work.
For the Wendalinusbasilika [de] in St. Wendel, his shop made a relief for the door on the Fruchtmarkt, "St. Wendelin und St. Matthias der Muttergottes mit dem Jesuskind huldigend", and a sculpture of the Last Judgment for the tympanum in the portal of the south entrance.
