Hermann Hendrich was a German painter of the last quarter of the nineteenth and first third of the twentieth centuries. He is known as a painter known for his works in the Romantic and Old Germanic style.
Hendrich considered the canvases and interior for the "Walpurgis Hall" near Thale, created in 1901, to be the pinnacle of his work. For the "Nibelungen Hall" on Mount Drachenfels, opened in 1913 in honor of Richard Wagner, he painted 12 canvases based on ancient Germanic legends. The artist also created illustrations for Goethe's works, as well as exhibitions in the "Hall of German Sagas" in Solingen.
Hendrich was a co-founder of the Verdandi Union, which opposed modernism in art. A square in Berlin, Gendrichplatz, is named in his honor.
