His training as a carpenter is evident in the asto nishing precision of the only 20 to 25 pipes that leave his workshop each year\, which are stylistically reminiscent of the works of his great prede cessors: Poul Ilsted and Jens "TAO" Nielsen.\n\nManfred Hortig\nis like St effen Müller\, one of the founding members of the "German Avant-garde"\, which came together in the 2010s. The 74-year-old former cultural scientis t from Neu-Ruppin in Brandenburg has been creating around 80 mostly very u nusual pipes for the past 12 years and is a multiple winner of the Hanau I nnovation Award.\n\nRoland Kirsch\nAs a trained carpenter\, he has a craft background. At the age of 73\, he is about the same age as Manfred Hortig and\, like him\, comes from the former GDR. He lives in Schwerin and has achieved an annual production of now 200 pipes since 2013\, which enjoy ev er-increasing popularity internationally.\n\nUwe Maier (60)\nwas – like Roland Kirsch – once a carpenter\, but he also went to sea. He is\, so t o speak\, the shooting star of the "German Avant-garde"\, which he co-foun ded. The approximately 50 pipes he works on annually in his workshop in th e Swabian Jura with needle and thread\, screws and other unusual materials move far away from any mainstream.\n\nJürgen Moritz\nfrom Mönchengladba ch\, has been building extremely delicate pipes at the highest level for 2 2 years. The unmistakable role model of the 66-year-old social pedagogue i s\, alongside the Danish masters\, mainly Paolo Becker. Jürgen equips man y of his approximately 70 pipes produced annually with applications such a s bamboo.\n\nKristijan Pavic (52)\nfrom Berlin learned stone sculpture and started pipe making 14 years ago. He does not associate himself with any "school" and refers to "everyone who is better than me" as his role models . Mostly produced without the use of machines\, he achieves an annual outp ut of 25 to 30 pipes.\n\nCarsten Ringling\nis the youngest pipe maker repr esented here at 51. The Saarlander began making pipes in the same year as Steffen Müller and has specialised in small\, typically deeply sandblaste d pieces inspired by Danish models. His professional work as an occupation al therapist allows for the creation of no more than about 40 pipes per ye ar.\n\nBertram Safferling\nmust – like Rainer Barbi – be referred to a s the godfather of German pipe making. For more than 45 years\, the now 74 -year-old trained product designer has been involved with this subject\, w hose nuances he has passed on in countless workshops to beginners and adva nced learners. Steffen Müller also attended his school! Bertram now lives in Salerno\, Italy\, where he creates between 40 and 50 artefacts each ye ar. He rightly values belonging to a unique style that is focused on elega nce\, away from Scandinavian influences.\n\nRoger Wallenstein\nHe shares t he birth year with Bertram\, with whom he has also completed workshops\, b ut only came to pipe making 20 years ago. The lawyer from Saarland develop ed the 'Driftwood Finish'\, which is applied to the majority of his annual production of around 80 pipes\, and is - like Steffen Müller and others - considered part of the 'German Avant-Garde'.\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cipc.pipeclubs.com/wp-content/uploads/20 25/08/SteffenMuller.jpg LOCATION:Eindhoven\, Oirschot\, Van der Valk Hotel\, Eindhoven\, Netherland s GEO:51.406603;5.479656 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Van der Valk Hotel\, Eindho ven\, Netherlands;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Eindhoven\, Oirschot:geo:51.4 06603,5.479656 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
