Eugen Felix Busmann (28 December 1929 – 25 February 2015) was a German sculptor and academic teacher.^[1][2][3]

Busmann was born in Emsdetten. He served his apprenticeship and practical years as a stonemason and sculptor from 1947 until 1952 at the Bauhütte [de] in the Münster Cathedral.^[1] He then studied applied and free sculpture (1956–1957) as a Meisterschüler [de] at the Fachbereich Design der Fachhochschule Münster [de] under Kurt Schwippert [de]^[3]).^[1] From 1957, Busmann was a lecturer in plastic design at the Werkkunstschule Wuppertal^[1] and thus followed Schwippert to Wuppertal. The Werkkunstschule was initially merged into the Wuppertal Comprehensive University in 1974, which has been called the University of Wuppertal since 2003.^[1] Busmann held a professorship at the university until his retirement in 1995.^[1] In addition to teaching at the university, Busmann produced free and commissioned sculptural works, focusing on columns and steles as well as small sculptures and plaques.^[1]

For over 50 years,^[4] Busmann was a member of the Bergische Kunstgenossenschaft (BKG)^[1][5] and of the Westdeutscher Künstlerbund [de].^[1] Since 1954, he participated in solo and group exhibitions in Germany and abroad.^[1]

Busmann lived in Wuppertal-Ronsdorf^[1] where he died at the age of 85.
