Life and Works


Adam Lude Döring was born in 1925 in Dresden. After an apprenticeship with the Reichspost he was drafted in 1942 for military service. He moved to the West after the war, where he made contact with the anthroposophy after a short time as assistant carpenter and titanium white manufacturer at the IG Farben in Cologne. In 1950 he began training as a work teacher at the Waldorf Academy in Stuttgart. There he studied six semesters at the free art school Albrecht Leo Merz. In the following years until about 1964 he worked as a freelance graphic artist and began to paint and draw autodidactically. From 1967 he studied as a guest student four semesters of philosophy with Max Bense in Stuttgart.

His first studio moved Lude Döring 1958 in the former city hall in Old Sillenbuch near Stuttgart. In 1962 he moved with his wife Gretel (born Pannwitz) and their daughter to a farmhouse in Gutenberg on the Swabian Alp. There he intensified his artistic work and found first formative collector contacts, for example, with the politician Lothar Späth and the entrepreneur Eugen Eisenmann, who allowed him to focus entirely on painting. After his first solo exhibition in Karlsruhe in 1968, a collaboration began with the artists Axel Arndt and Moritz Baumgartl. The following year his first participation was in the annual exhibition of the German Artists' Association. In the following decades followed numerous national and international exhibitions. Since 1970 he has been a member of the Künstlerbund Baden-Württemberg and since 1972 member of the Deutscher Künstlerbund. Lude Döring is appointed professor in 1989.

Main topic of his work are people. Hands, heads, sports scenes and everyday depictions shape his work in a figurative painting style. His works are today represented in the Museum Gunzenhauser, Chemnitz, Würth Museum and the Städtische Galerie Bietigheim.

In public space designed Lude Döring, inter alia, the interior of the Mauritius Church in Güglingen (1975) and murals in Teckcenter Kirchheim-Teck (1977) and the Gewerbeschule Esslingen-Zell (1978). He also created murals in the administrative buildings of Allianz in Stuttgart (1982) and the Lidl Group in Necharsulm (1993).
