Hans Bitterlich

Hans Bitterlich (28 April 1860, Vienna - 5 August 1949, Vienna) was an Austrian sculptor.

His father was the sculptor and history painter, Eduard Bitterlich. He studied with Edmund von Hellmer and Kaspar von Zumbusch, and was a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, from 1901 to 1931.

His best known works include a monument to Gutenberg in the Lugeck [de] district (1900), and the monument to Empress Elisabeth in the Volksgarten, both with an architectural framework by Friedrich Ohmann.

In 1943, he was awarded the Goethe-Medaille für Kunst und Wissenschaft, and placed on the Gottbegnadeten list of Joseph Goebbels, as an important artist of the Nazi state.

He was interred in the Wiener Zentralfriedhof in a Gewidmete Gräber der Stadt Wien [de] (Dedicated Grave).
