February 1925 in Frauendorf near Stettin; † 10 August 2012 in Greifswald) was a German painter and graphic artist.She was born in Frauendorf near Stettin, the youngest of three daughters of a couple of teachers. In 1943 she passed her Abitur in Stettin. This was followed by the Reich Labor Service and work as a conscript. Most recently she worked in Dresden, where she experienced the air raids on Dresden towards the end of the Second World War.From 1946 to 1948 she studied at the University of Applied Arts in Berlin, alongside the private Heinrich Zernack School, and from 1948 to 1950 at the University of Fine Arts in Berlin-Charlottenburg. In 1950 she married and moved with her husband to Kemnitzerhagen near Greifswald, and in 1954 to Neuenkirchen near Greifswald.From 1960 or 1964 Mechthild Hempel was a member of the Association of Visual Artists in Germany (from 1970 the Association of Visual Artists of the GDR). Her works commissioned by the state, party, mass organizations and nationally-owned economy include seven large-format charcoal drawings for the meeting room of the FDGB district executive in Greifswald (1963/1964), the textile application Peace in our country for a school (1963/1964), and a mural for the VEB Nachrichtenelektronik Greifswald (1968/1969), murals in Greifswald kindergartens (1970s), the mosaic design of a pillar in the building of the SED district administration in Greifswald (1979) and mosaic surfaces on prefabricated buildings (1983). Many of their construction-related works are no longer available or no longer accessible due to the change in social conditions.The turning point and peaceful revolution in the GDR also brought Mechthild Hempel the loss of previous clients. But after a creative crisis in the 1990s, she resumed her artistic activity. Since autumn 2010 she has been living in the city of Greifswald again, where she died in 2012.Source: Wikipedia.orgFrom 1960 or 1964 Mechthild Hempel was a member of the Association of Visual Artists in Germany (from 1970 the Association of Visual Artists of the GDR).
