Hans Christiansen [Flensburg 1866 – 1945 Wiesbaden] German painter and graphic artist, designer of arts and crafts, author. In 1898, at the request of the publisher Alexander Koch, he participates in the Darmstadt Kunst- und Gewerbeausstellung. Then Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig asks him for membership in the Darmstadt artists’ colony. He worked on his designs for glass windows, jewelery, leather and knitwear at the Darmstadt room at the 1900 World’s Fair in Paris. In 1901 he designed his house “In Rosen” on Mathildenhöhe together with Joseph Olbrich and completely equipped it himself.
