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.

Willingstorfer, Rainer
1940 Ruhla - 1989 Zirndorf.
Obscure dice game. Encounter of two men at a gloomy table with a pewter jug.
Oil on masonite. Signed upper right and dated (19)62.
Verso on a label numbered «164» probably by a different hand and inscribed by the artist «Werner Bergengruen» as well as «Flammen im Säulenholz (flames in the column wood)».
H 32,
The inscriptions on the verso label presumably allude to the novella by the German-Baltic author Werner Bergengruen (1892 - 1964), published in 1952 and entitled «Die Flamme im Säulenholz (the flame in the column wood)». Although the handwriting can be attributed to Rainer Willingstorfer with high probability, the scene depicted cannot be matched with the plot of the above-mentioned story. This discrepancy must probably remain an unexplained mystery in connection with this work.
The painter Rainer Willingstorfer was also active as a graphic designer and in this capacity created the logo for the Playmobil toy brand in 1974.
