Hermann Wagner alias Hans Hundt (born March 12, 1943 in Oberstdorf; died February 15, 2020 in Fürth) was a painter and artist from Fürth.
Wagner initially went to school in his home region. At the end of the 1950s, he moved with his parents Betti Emilie, née Auer, and Matthias Hermann Wagner, as well as his older brother Otto, to Fürth, where he attended what was then the Oberrealschule, today's Hardenberg-Gymnasium. He left high school in 1960. As the son of a teacher who was considered very studious and well-read, the step of starting to study free painting at the Nuremberg Art Academy, today's Academy of Fine Arts , in 1961 was not without resistance.
Soon after completing his studies, Wagner decided to live between two countries, six months in Germany, six months in Dublin, Ireland. Despite his longing for freedom and liberal artistic practice, he was always drawn back to his Franconian homeland. In May 1968, Wagner exhibited his art publicly for the first time in Nuremberg.
In 2000, Hermann Wagner bought an empty furniture warehouse, complete with a granny flat and workshop, in the Oberspier district of Sondershausen in Thuringia, near the Kyffhäuser. Wagner was able to give free rein to his artistic creativity in around 1,200 square metres and was no longer limited by space. The Oberspier Art Gallery, as he called it , was also open to other artists, writers, musicians and theatre people for exhibitions.
On February 15, 2020, Wagner died after a long illness from the effects of cancer.
