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».

«Mummies might be displayed like this, in boxes with glass covers. A comparison that arises involuntarily when looking at Jürgen Brodwolf's works: small and medium-sized bent figures, moulded from cardboard, gauze and glue or collaged from paper; or the ‹human› shaped paint tube itself. They all have an effect. Rejection may be one reaction, fascination is a far more likely one.» from: Gert Heiland, Wahre Kunst für die Sinne, die Gefühle und den Verstand, neue Werke von Jürgen Brodwolf im Leinwandhaus, in: Wetzlarer Neue Zeitung, 26.06.1997, p.
