Stefan SOLTEK
Klingspor Museum, Offenbach (Germany)
Born 1956 in Cologne, Germany, Stefan Soltek studied at Cologne and Bonn University. Law, classic Archeology and History of Art were his subjects. Several museums in Germany and abroad allowed him to work as a student volunteer. Having passes his doctor degree (thesis on a Romanesque baptismal font) engagements followed with the Hessisches Landesmuseum Kassel and the Museums for Applied Arts Frankfurt. After a period of 10 years curating the collection of books and prints Stefan Soltek changed for the Klingspor Museum where he is the responsible head of the house since 2002. The famous collection for typography, calligraphy and book arts offered lots of tasks including exhibitions and publications. Further activity is bound to the AEPM (European Printing Museums) and Juries concerning bookart- and design awards.
