Heinz Müller-Pilgram

Heinz Müller-Pilgram (born December 5, 1913 in Cologne, Germany, November 3, 1984 in Bad Soden am Taunus) was a German painter and draftsman. Life and Work

In his childhood, Heinz Müller-Pilgram noticed his artistic talent. That is why, from early days, he dreamed of a career as an artist. With 14 years he left the Gymnasium. Shortly thereafter, his grandfather, who was the director of the Städtische Bühnen in Cologne, noticed the talent of the boy and temporarily set him up as a volunteer in the painter's workshop. Later, he worked with the church restorer Paul Meyer-Speer and, among other things, restored the Breslau cathedral and the Fulda cathedral.

In the further course of his life, he devoted himself to pencil drawing and drew many pictures in the Taunus. He worked for a chemical company as a graphic artist. In 1944 he was seriously injured by the help of his wife Irene to Grainau. Here he immortalized the landscapes in watercolor paints.

In 1961 he moved back to the Taunus with his family and worked first in an advertising agency in Königstein in the Taunus. As early as 1965 he moved to Kelkheim am Taunus and worked as a freelance artist. Three years later he took him to the district of Neuenhain in Soden, where he lived until his death. In the spa town he made many pencil drawings, among others from the Medico Palais, the Altenhainer valley and the Altenhainer Rathaus. He also made a fresco in the Sauerbornhalle in Neuenhain, as well as guest rooms in a restaurant in Kelkheim.
