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.

Johann Christian Wentzinger worked as a sculptor, painter and architect, but primarily as an art entrepreneur. Supported by the Benedictine abbots of the Black Forest monasteries, he quickly became a popular artist in Southwest Germany. When furnishing the collegiate church in St. Gallen, his workshop was foremost responsible for the sculptural work and Wentzinger finally became a highly respected and wealthy citizen of Freiburg due to his growing affluence.

Johann Christian Wentzinger war als Bildhauer, Maler und auch Architekt, in erster Linie aber als Kunstunternehmer tätig. Gefördert von den Benediktineräbten der Schwarzwaldklöster, wurde er schnell zum gesuchten Künstler in Südwestdeutschland. Bei der Ausstattung der Stiftskirche in St. Gallen war seine Werkstatt führend für die bildhauerischen Arbeiten zuständig, was Wentzinger zu beachtlichem Wohlstand verhalf und ihn endgültig zu einem hochgeachteten und reichen Bürger Freiburgs machte.
