The artist belongs to the titans of the metal design .... The old smithy in Obermenzing .... is the source for everything new", and in 2023 the Bavarian State Prize for his life. An article with very good photos can be found in the magazine "Art Aurea" (2021, sign.). In mythology, "Titan" is a giant in human form.
