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».

Die originale Bronze der «Kämpfenden Amazone» gehört zu den bekanntesten Bronzeplastiken des bedeutenden deutschen Bildhauers August Kiss. Im Januar 1839 modellierte er die Figur und führte sie dann 1842 für König Ludwig I auch in Marmor aus. Kiss kam 1822 aus seiner oberschlesischen Heimat nach Berlin und fertigte dort zunächst plastische Arbeiten für Karl Friedrich Schinkel an, mit denen er in den Berliner Kreisen auf sich aufmerksam machte. Doch mit der «Kämpfenden Amazone», die seit 1843 vor dem Alten Museum in Berlin steht, konnte er sich schließlich vollends etablieren.
