Stephanie Hollenstein

[9] After completing the courses there in 1908 and earning a distinction grade,[7] she opened a small private painting school in Schwabing, which was in operation for two years.

[6] She then went to Vorarlberg, where she joined the 2nd Dornbirn Battalion, Company II of the Standschützen under the male name "Stephan Hollenstein".

[9] During her tenure, she defended the sculptor, Albert Bechtold [de], and others against charges that their art was "Degenerate"; unsuccessfully for the most part.

[16] An application for the title of "Professor" was denied on the grounds that she was a strictly local artist whose work often did not set a good example.

A municipal art gallery named in her honor was opened in 1971, which houses most of her extant work (1,114 numbered items).
