Siegfried Pütz was born on 15.10.1907 in Berlin and died on 21.02.1979 in Ottersberg, Germany. “In 1922-1924 he attended the Stuttgart Waldorf School, where he met Rudolf Steiner. This encounter was decisive for his creative path. After studying sculpture in Karlsruhe, he continued his studies in Dornach with Karl Schubert among others. Together with the Waldorf teacher Karl Schubert he developed a “sculptural therapy” (Plastiziertherapie) at the beginning of the 1930s. Due to an occupational ban, he was forced to design and make furniture and utilitarian objects during the National Socialist era. During this period, he took up Steiner’s suggestions and implemented them in a contemporary way. After 1945 he was a teacher at the Waldorf School in Ottersberg for 11 years.” (https://anthroposophische-kun sttherapie. de/anthro-medizin/kunsttherapie/wegbereiter/129siegfried-putz. html, 29.05.2024)
