Biography[]
Alfred Mahlau was born in Berlin on January 21, 1894.[1] He was best known for his graphical work and illustrations, and for the large stained glass window, Dance of Death,[2] in the Lübeck Marienkirche (St. Mary's Church in Lübeck), which paid homage to a famous mural of the Dance of Death in the church that was destroyed in the bombing of Lübeck during World War II. His books include a number of works with paintings and drawings of Hamburg and the Hamburg port. The product design for Niederegger from the twenties is still in use.[3]
He died in Hamburg on January 22, 1967.
Among his students were Horst Janssen, and Vicco von Bülow. His work is collected by the Busch-Reisinger Museum, among others.
