The genesis of the bust
The most famous photograph of Wilhelm Heinrich Schüßler served for the modeling of the bust. It is the only high quality photo we could refer to. In the absence of a frontal image, our modelers had to reconstruct Schüssler's face shape with empirical values ??and artistic understanding.
Furthermore, there is a bust, which stands today in Bad Zwischenahn, in Petersstraße in front of the birthplace Schüßlers. In the late 1940s, this work of art was smashed and sunk in a pond. In 2007, the bust was rediscovered, recovered, restored and finally unveiled as part of the 125th anniversary celebrations of the Biochemischen Gesundheitsverein Oldenburg. This bust represents Schuessler at an advanced age, with the characteristic beard and a serious, steadfast look. This also served as an orientation for our own bust, although the photo was authoritative.
With the bust we tried to capture the expressive, life-experienced personality of Schüßler. Those who tried to impose new methods against the established doctrines in the 19th century had to prove strong will and a long breath. It is these characteristics that must be immortalized in a bust of Schüßler.
