Tradition and art: Holzbau Kessler celebrates 125 years of handicrafts in Gmünd
The 125th anniversary of the Kessler carpentry in Schwäbisch Gmünd was duly recognized in a solemn setting. Michael Kessler, who heads the family company in the fourth generation, was proud of the tradition of the craft and the commitment of his team. The event not only attracted industry representatives, but also the city administration and numerous friends of the company.
During his speech, Mayor Richard Arnold praised the important role of carpentry Kessler in the city's construction, especially in the restoration of listed buildings. Arnold was grateful that the Kesslers repeatedly contribute to the preservation of the cityscape by implementing both old and modern construction projects.a company with sustainable commitment
"For the Ostalb district, your work in the area of sustainable building is exemplary," remarked Andrea Hahn from the business development agency. The training of young specialists, such as carpenters, is crucial for the further development of the craft. The city of Schwäbisch Gmünd estimates the diverse commitment of the Kessler family not only in the economic, but also in the social field.
In particular, the invitation to the association's professional association attracted attention. Peter Liedtke, Managing Director of the BG Bau Region South, expressed his joy about being present for this special occasion. "It is not commonplace that I am invited and it honors me to be here today," said Liedtke.
an almost unknown treasure
A highlight of the celebration was the opening of an art exhibition that presented works by Professor Herbert Kessler. The deceased artist was not only uncle of Michael Kessler, but also an important painter, whose work in his hometown has so far been rather unknown. This exhibition gave visitors the opportunity to establish a connection between the craft and art.
The exhibited works, especially tempera painting, aroused the interest of those present. Dr. Monika Boosen explained the special techniques that Herbert Kessler used and decrypt the interaction of oily and aqueous color, which gives his pictures a special expressiveness.
The event was therefore not only a celebration of tradition and success of the carpenter Kessler, but also a tribute to the connection of craft and art. A truly exciting day for Schwäbisch Gmünd, in which history and the present merged.
