context_page_description: Ingeborg Hunzinger was a German sculptor.
  Hunzinger was born Ingeborg Franck to a Jewish mother. In 1932 Ingeborg joined the Communist Party. She began her studies in arts in 1935 and was master pupil of Ludwig Kasper in 1938/39. When the Nazis prevented her continued education in 1939, she emigrated to Italy. There, she met the German painter Helmut Ruhmer. In 1942 they returned to Germany and had two children. However, because of Ingeborg's part-Jewish ancestry they were not allowed to marry within the country.
  Ruhmer was killed in the last year of World War II and Ingeborg married Adolf Hunzinger in the mid-fifties, with whom she had her third child. After a divorce from Hunzinger, she married the sculptor Robert Riehl in the mid-sixties.
  Hunzinger resumed her arts studies in East Berlin in the early fifties; she was a master pupil of Fritz Cremer and Gustav Seitz. She taught at the arts school in Berlin-Weißensee and worked from 1953 as free-lance artist. She joined later the Party of Democratic Socialism.
  Hunzinger was the grandmother of the writer Julia Franck.
