The German medieval abbess and mystic Hildegard, claimed to have experienced prophetic and mystical visions since infancy. Though she was never formally canonized, her followers consider her a saint, she is listed as one in the Roman Martyrology, and she has a feast day (September 17). Beginning her religious life as a child, she took the veil at the age of fifteen. In 1136 she became prioress of the Benedictine monastery Saint Didibod in Diessenberg. She founded a new convent at Rupertsberg, near Bingen, in about 1147, by which time she had begun dictating her visions to a monk. A trilogy of works (1152-70) recorded her prophetic and apocalyptic revelations. Hildegard also wrote lives of saints (hagiography) as well as treatises on medicine and natural history. Although she has remained known for these works, as well as for the extensive correspondence she conducted with the contemporary rulers of European nations and the church, Hildegard is best remembered today for her music. She wrote a large body of lyric and dramatic poetry for which she composed unusual monophonic, melismatic chants, in a range that , as she noted, was suited to the voices of women.

Hirsbrunner Ursula

Hjerten Sigrid 1885 - 1948

Grünewald and Hjertén were leading figures in Swedish art at the beginning of the century - not least because they departed from the naturalist tradition and instead introduced an expressive, colourful and decorative style of painting. They were both heavily influenced by the French artist Henri Matisse with whom they studied in Paris around 1910-11. Inspiration from other great artists such as Marc Chagall is also evident in their works. Grünewald and Hjertén led dramatic lives. She became mentally ill and died after a lobotomy.

je obiskovala šolo za uporabno umetnost v Brnu nato pa je študirala na Praški akademiji za uporabno umetnost (od 1937 do 1942) pri profesorjih Kysela in Novak. Po diplomi se je poročila z umetnikom Vincentom Hložnikom. Preselila sta se v Turčianski sveti Martin. Tu je začela ilustrirati knjige za kulturno ustanovo Matica slovenska.

Sedaj se ukvarja z grafiko - linorezi, na katerih prikazuje predvsem verske motive.

The painter Viera Hložníková was born Znojmo in 1920 and attended the school of applied art in Brno before studying, from 1937 to 1942, at Prague's academy of applied art under professors Kysela and Novák. Following graduation Viera Hložníková, now married to Slovak artist Vincent Hložník, moved with her husband to Turčiansky sv. Martin in Slovakia. Here she began her career by illustrating books for the Slovak cultural institution Matica slovenská. The focus of her work, however, was monumental work such as mosaics and, above all, stained-glass windows. The latter grace an impressive number of churches, including at Dolný Hričov and Horný Smokovec. These works are remarkable in their perfection of draughstmanship, tonal richness and refinement. In recent years the artist has been working in graphics - colour linocuts in particular - on sacred motifs, constantly adding to a series that already numbers more than two hundred prints.

Hörbiger Christiane 13.10.1938 -

Christiane Hörbiger is one of the most successful actresses in the German-speaking world. Like her sisters Maresa Hörbiger and Elisabeth Orth, was sent to a convent school. Despite her immediate success in the film industry - she played her first film role at the age of sixteen - she worked her way up the profession, taking acting lessons at the Reinhard Seminar. Her training was frequently interrupted by film contracts, and she completed her acting, dance and singing education with private teachers, above all Alma Seidler. She was only 19 years old when she first performed on the stage of Vienna's Burgtheater. However, the Viennese public kept making comparisons with the great actors in her family, and for this reason she left the city to establish her career in Heidleberg, Munich and Zurich. For 25 years, Christiane Hörbiger played the great roles of theatre literature on the most famous stages in the German-speaking world. Her comedy, her charme and her incomparable style have made her the incarnation of the "Grande Dame". The precision of her acting brought her success in the world of film as well. In the 1980s, she was discovered by television, and her leading roles in many TV series won the hearts of millions.
