Coming from a humble background, Sepp Biehler did an internship at the “Alt-Konstanz” porcelain factory in 1923, after elementary school and high school; From 1925 to 1928, he studied at the Baden State Art School in Karlsruhe, from 1926 under Ernst Würtenberger. Biehler then went on various study trips and was able to show his works in his first exhibitions in southwest Germany. In 1939, he painted an oil painting of the psychiatrist Konrad Rieger. The years 1939 to 1945 were marked by military service, injuries and imprisonment. He then went on further journeys and exhibited often. In 1955, he stayed in Hamburg and in 1957 he moved to Boxberg in the Main-Tauber district. He received numerous public and church commissions in the northern Baden region. In 1969, he moved for the last time, to Bernau in the Black Forest, where he lived until the end of his life. After orienting himself towards New Objectivity from the end of the 1920s, Sepp Biehler soon became one of the better-known painters in southern Germany's exhibition scene. From the 1930s onwards, Biehler provided numerous private and public buildings in Konstanz and the surrounding area with decorative wall paintings and created Stations of the Cross cycles in some churches. In 1938, together with Elisabeth and Fritz Mühlenweg as well as Alexander Rihm and Werner Rohland, he founded the Konstanzer Malergruppe 1938. After the Second World War, the artist increasingly oriented himself towards figurative abstraction, but retained the themes of his earlier work: religious motifs, landscapes and figure paintings. His mosaics, sgraffiti and stone carvings still shape many a cityscape in the Main-Tauber district today. In Southern Germany, at least a dozen churches received their artistic design through his murals and stained glass windows.
