Georg Nickel: graphic design, comics and Senden

Georg Nickel was born in Marktoberdorf on 25 June 1950 and died in Senden on 29 July 2015. After studying applied graphic design, he first worked in the orbit of designer Otl Aicher and later for the Schwäbische Zeitung newspaper in Leutkirch, producing drawings and cartoons.

His best-known body of work was the Lurchi adventure series. Nickel’s own run began with issue 64 in 1977. He developed stories and illustrations for about ten and a half years before leaving the series after issue 96. He ran a graphic-design studio in his adopted home of Senden and spent years shaping the visual identity, website and newsletter of an Ulm church congregation.

Finding the grave on site

No publicly available material gives a section, row, grave number or metre-precise position. This page therefore does not show an estimated map marker. Nor is there currently a real photograph of the grave with a traceable free-use licence.

  • Name: Georg Nickel
  • Life dates: 25 June 1950 to 29 July 2015

The city maintains a burial plan. The cemetery office decides whether it can provide a location while observing data-protection requirements. Contact details and a short enquiry checklist are available under grave search and cemetery administration.

Scope of this directory

This is not a name register of everyone buried at the cemetery. A connection to Senden, birth in what is now the city or a local civic role does not by itself establish burial at Waldfriedhof Senden. Further people will be added only when published information identifies this particular cemetery as their burial place.
