Joseph Ehrismann (1880–1937) was an accomplished painter and expert in stained glass craftsmanship originating from Alsace. Initially a German national from the Alsace-Lorraine area, he passed away as a French citizen in Bas-Rhin, having spent most of his life within his native region.
He was the son of a Catholic baker based in Mutzig and pursued his artistic education between 1906 and 1912, studying under Auguste Cammissar in Strasbourg and later with Martin von Feuerstein in Munich, who hailed from nearby Barr. After attaining the distinction of Meisterschüler, Ehrismann established his own studio, creating stained glass windows and murals for numerous churches and public buildings throughout Alsace.
Although many of his creations were destroyed during World War II or lost to church fires, several examples of Ehrismann's work continue to be seen in cities such as Strasbourg, Mulhouse, Colmar, Schiltigheim, Bischheim, Molsheim, Meistratzheim, Lampertsloch, Betschdorf, and Weitbruch.
