Studio visit in Mainz

As a young woman, Emy Roeder was part of Berlin's vibrant avant-garde scene and was already considered one of the most important sculptors of her time. However, the Nazi regime and her subsequent exile to Italy marked a significant turning point in her successful biography. After the Second World War, Emy Roeder returned to Germany and made Mainz her new home. She had to rebuild her life from scratch here at the age of 59. At the beginning of 1950, she moved into an apartment at 2 Raimundistrasse provided to her by the French military government. At the same time, an apprenticeship at the State Art School provided her with a small income. She was given a studio in the Stadthaus am Pulverturm. Emy Roeder died in 1971 in Mainz, where her later works were created.
