Hildegard Reinhardt (born 14 December 1942) is a German translator and art historian.
Born in Hagen, Reinhardt was a graduate translator at the University of Mainz from 1969-2006. She completed her studies of art history and Romance studies at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn with the rank Magister Artium in 1974. She received her doctorate in 1987 with the dissertation Gustav Wunderwald (1882–1945) – Untersuchungen zum bildkünstlerischen Gesamtwerk. [1]
In addition to her freelance work as a curator, she writes articles for exhibition catalogues and specialist and popular science publications, especially on women visual artists of the Expressionism and the Social realism (among others Lea Grundig, Sella Hasse, Marta Hegemann, Grethe Jürgens, Victoria, Princess Royal, Elfriede Lohse-Wächtler, Marie von Malachowski-Nauen, Jeanne Mammen, Olga Oppenheimer, Gerta Overbeck, Henriette Schmidt-Bonn, Fifi Kreutzer, Elisabeth Epstein, Elisabeth Erdmann-Macke and the dancer Tatjana Barbakoff).
Elfriede Lohse-Wächtler was a German painter of the avant-garde whose works were banned as "degenerate art", and in some cases destroyed, in Nazi Germany. She became mentally ill and was murdered in a former psychiatric institution at Sonnenstein castle in Pirna under Action T4, a forced euthanasia program of Nazi Germany. Since 2000, a memorial center for the T4 program in the house commemorates her life and work in a permanent exhibition.
