Klaus Rudolf Werhand

In 1965, he received his diploma of master craftsman as a plumber and electrician and began working with his older brother Dietrich Werhand (1937-2021), the head of the family business founded by their father in 1939.

In addition to fulfilling contracts for the public sector, he created sculptures using the technique of repoussé, and other works of art including: fire guards, door panels, numerous metal images and engravings, (inspired by artworks by Albrecht Dürer and Rembrandt), coats of arms, lights, reliefs, and copper portraits, as well as hand-forged window grilles, railings, candle holders, lamps and various other pieces of art.

Werhand was a registered Member of the Professional Association of Visual Artists in Rhineland-Palatinate (Berufsverband Bildender Künstler Rheinland Pfalz) from 1970 until his death.

"Dating from the Neutered born and multi-award winning metal sculptor Klaus Rudolf Werhand in Melsbach, the work of art whose execution is transferred was a fountain of running 180 meters and about seven hundred pounds of heavy, hand-forged copper tape.

Since the days when Neutered staged his great dike city festival, the Copper Fountain as a jewelry of downtown Neuwied now enriched and towering its almost delicate cascade forms at the parish road opposite the post round four meters and its illuminated water column in the dark as an eye-catcher.
