Magdalene Kreßner

Magdalene Kreßner (3 October 1899 - 18 May 1975) was a German sculptor. She is known, in particular, for her mural reliefs.

Life Magdalene "Ebbi" Kreßner was born in Schweizerthal (now part of Burgstädt) in the Kingdom of Saxony. As a child she was initially sent to a boarding school, but she hated it. Eventually her parents were persuaded to send her to the "Alte Kunstschule Richter" (Art School) in Dresden where her love of art was awakened. She became determined to become a painter (and at the same time to avoid getting "side-tracked into sculpture"). which is currently part of the Dresden State Art Collection.
