Important: As I heard from Willi Koch most of the kites of Frank Schwiemann were stolen at the Marseille kite festival. I do not know which kites exactly. However, whenever you see any of the kites pictured on these pages flying anywhere, let me immediately know. Also, try to get the name of the person flying the kite if possible, number of the car plate or anything that could help in the identification process. I think that such things are really sad....

Banners by Frank Schwiemann.

Patchwork Banners made by Frank Schwiemann, Verdun 1995.

Frank is well known for his patchwork stuff. Some nice examples are the banners shown above. The position of the black bars in the banners varies in a planned manner.

Frank Schwiemann Playsail, Verdun 1995.

Playsail made in patchwork technique by Frank, Verdun, 1995.

Another example of the nice patchwork technique is Frank's playsail. Together with the arch above it really looks beautiful. Frank (in the middle of the sail) gives advice to spectators flying the playsail. It was a lot of fun!

As funny as it is, Frank only lived 30 minutes away from me in Duesseldorf in Germany (I was in Muelheim), but we met for the first time face-to-face in Verdun, 1995. We had a good time! Frank is very well known as an excellent kite artist. His patchwork kites, banners and playsails gain especially great attention. His Yakko-Bee kites are also well known.
