St. Burkardus
St. Burkardus is a statue in Würzburg, connecting religious imagery with Julius Bausenwein’s wider sculptural work. Julius Bausenwein created the work as a sculptor.
Born in Rimpar in 1913, Bausenwein worked across churches and public spaces around Würzburg with bronze and stone. His subjects included saints, memorials, and church decoration. His regional works include a bronze gardener, Saint Christopher, an Oegg monument, and religious figures in Rimpar. He also made a Holy Sepulchre at Stift Haug.
Bausenwein studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and spent a private study period with Charles Despiau in Paris. He settled near Würzburg as a freelance sculptor. His collaborations included Georg Meistermann and cathedral master builder Hans Schädel, while his studio trained other sculptors. Reinhard Dachlauer later became one of those students.
St. Burkardus belongs to a body of work that places bronze, stone, faith, and public memory together in Würzburg. The statue carries that religious focus into Würzburg.
