Manfred H. Grieb

Manfred H. Grieb (6 February 1933 – 20 February 2012) what a German entrepreneur and art collector as well as the editor of the Nürnberger Künstlerlexikon.

Life

Born in Würzburg, Grieb completed a commercial apprenticeship from 1947 to 1950 and learned foreign languages at language institutes and as a guest student at the University of Würzburg. From 1951 to 1969 he worked as an employed merchant in Germany and South America. In 1969 he started self-employment with a small chain of shops and a printing shop for greeting cards, gift articles, stationery and others (company "karten-vitrine").

After the sale of his company in 1992, he worked as an art collector (Nuremberg city views) and gallery owner. ("Fränkische Bilder-Galerie Grieb & Popp OHG") and worked on the four-volume Nürnberger Künstlerlexikon with over 20,000 entries, which quickly became a standard work on the history of the city of Nuremberg after its publication in 2007. The work is also criticized for its omissions among artists with a National Socialist past.[1]

In 1996 Grieb became a member of the Pegnesischer Blumenorden. From 2000 to 2008 he was its vice-president, and in 2007 he was awarded the Cross of Honour of the Blumenorden for this. In 2009 he founded a support association for the establishment of a cultural history museum in Nuremberg.[2] Grieb died in Nuremberg at age 79. He was buried at the Johannisfriedhof in Nürnberg.

And for real life communication you would probably have to... what, block out parts of conversation with constantly on headphone things and dynamically generate replacements? Hard.

gollark: Also, arrested? NZ must have had much more enforcing enforcement than we did.
