Karl Hauptmann
«The Feldberg Painter»
24th April 1880 – 7th April 1947
Karl Hauptmann was born on 25th of April in 1880 in Freiburg i.Br., Germany. He received his artistic training in Nürnberg and Munich and was thereafter engaged as a decorative painter.
In 1908 he produced the first of what were to be his typical Black Forest paintings. In the years between 1915 and 1919, he produced numerous images of the Alpine region he had visited during his deployment with the mountain infantry in the First World War.
In 1918 Karl Hauptmann purchased «Molerhüsli», which for him encompassed his dwelling, atelier, and exhibition space. It soon became a favourite meeting place for skiers, hikers, students, and visitors to Feldberg.
Due to Hauptmann’s ever-present health problems, his doctor prescribed a trip to Italy in 1940, to which he again travelled the following year.
On 7th of April in 1947, Karl Hauptmann died at the age of 67 at his «Molerhüsli».

Diam.
The jewellery manufacturer from Pforzheim, founded in 1907, was already active for large fashion houses in the 1930s. His collaboration with Christian Dior, Paris, which began in 1955, made him a true global player in the jewellery industry. While the creations for Dior, which by the way are popular collectors' items, were produced as costume jewellery, Henkel & Grosse also made models in gold and silver. This brooch in 18k yellow gold embodies the lifestyle and chic of the 1960s that the Grossé brand stands for.
Authentication: We would like to thank Mr Manuel Grosse, Managing Director Grossé, Pforzheim, for the authentication and the kind remarks via
