Wilhelm August Hermann Feuerhahn (20 May 1873 in Bönnien [de], Landkreis Marienburg (Hannover) [de], Province of Hanover – 19 April 1941[1]) was a German sculptor particularly known for his architectural sculpture.

Life and achievements

edit

Several of his works were created together with Georg Roch [de] and are jointly attributed to Feuerhahn & Roch.

In 1905, Feuerhahn founded the Workshops for Cemetery Art together with Hugo Lederer, Georg Wrba and other sculptors.[2] There, they designed gravestones that were marketed on the basis of type construction with simple modifications.[3]

Feuerhahn died in Berlin at the age of 77.
