Heinrich Meister (Binningen, 1894-Dübendorf, 1972)
Heinrich Meister grew up in Münster, Alsace.

In 1919, Heinrich Meister left his architecture studies and did an internship at the Feldmeilen art pottery. In 1920, he founded the "Kunstkeramik Werkstatt A. Meister" in Stettbach, a district of Dübendorf (Switzerland), together with his uncle Albert Meister.
