Lyonel Charles Adrian Feininger was a German-US painter, graphic artist and caricaturist. From 1909 he was a member of the Berlin Secession. With his work at the Bauhaus since 1919, he is one of the most important artists of the Classical period Modern art.
His drawings of small-town idylls made in Ribnitz and Damgarten in 1905, for example, have become famous, as have his pictures of churches and village centers in the Weimar region in Thuringia, where he repeatedly went for work and study visits between 1906 and 1937. The pictures are mostly named after the respective localities (Gelmeroda, Niedergrunstedt, Possendorf, Mellingen, Vollersroda, Tiefurt, Taubach, Gaberndorf, Oberweimar, Zottelstedt and others) and numbered consecutively.
