Professor Hermann Dischler

25th September 1866 – 20th March 1935

Hermann Dischler was born on the 25th of September in 1866 in Freiburg i.Br. He received his artistic training in the art school in Karlsruhe, he was student of Gustav Schönleber. Thereafter he was engaged as a painter in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald area.

1894, after he finished his studies, he built himself an artist’s workroom in Freiburg i.Br. At this time he went on a lot of trips and his trusty camera followed him everywhere. Five years later he started to number and comment his artworks, which he collected in 29 «Bildbüchern (books of pictures)».

In the winter months from 1905 to 1907 he stayed in the Todtnauer Hütte, where a lot of his oil studies arise.
The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.

In 1927 he had an exhibition with artists like Curt Liebich, Julius Heffner, Wilhelm Nagel, Wilhelm Wickertsheimer a.o., they called themselves «Die Schwarzwälder (the Black Forests)». He died on the 20th of March in 1935 in Hinterzarten. Today his works are extremely appreciated because the snowy landscape present the untouched nature.

The Protestant pastor Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm (1758 - 1811) did not himself investigate the wondrous phenomena of nature, but wrote down his extensive knowledge in the «Unterhaltungen aus der Naturgeschichte» in a vivid and sometimes entertaining way, which he had acquired through wide-ranging reading and the lively intellectual exchange with researchers and scientists. Through his father Christian Wilhelm, the owner of the Engelbrechtsche Buchhandlung in Augsburg, he was introduced at an early age to the possibilities and advantages of engravings as a medium for imparting knowledge. For his 27-volume opus magnum, which was correspondingly rich in images, he hired the skilled engravers Jacob Hübner and Christian Friedrich Freyer, who succeeded in transforming this encyclopaedia of nature, which was imbued with the spirit of Enlightenment, into an instructive aesthetic pleasure.

Der protestantische Pfarrer Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm (1758 - 1811) untersuchte nicht selbst die wundersamen Phänomene der Natur, sondern schrieb in den «Unterhaltungen aus der Naturgeschichte» auf anschauliche und teils unterhaltsame Weise sein ausgedehntes Wissen nieder, das er sich durch breitgefächerte Lektüre und den regen intellektuellen Austausch mit Forschern und Wissenschaftlern erworben hatte. Durch seinen Vater Christian Wilhelm, den Inhaber der Engelbrechtschen Buchhandlung in Augsburg, wurde er schon früh an die Möglichkeiten und Vorzüge des Kupferstichs als Medium der Wissensvermittlung herangeführt. Für sein 27-bändiges Opus magnum, das entsprechend bildgewaltig ausfiel, engagierte er die versierten Kupferstecher Jacob Hübner und Christian Friedrich Freyer, denen es gelang, die vom Geist der Aufklärung durchdrungene Naturenzyklopädie in einen lehrreichen ästhetischen Genuss zu steigern.
