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».

Unique piece.
Gabriele Koch's smoke-fired ceramics are an expression of an unparalleled success story. In Great Britain, where the artist, who is originally from Lörrach, lives and works, her works are part of the permanent repertoire of the ceramics scene. She builds the vessels, which are unique in terms of size, texture, colour and traces of smoke, by hand. Their strong haptic appeal makes them look almost like sculptures. No wonder that one of her first vessels was bought by sculptor Anthony Caro, who immediately recognised the power and charisma of Koch's works. Her works are in collections of leading museums from the Augustinermuseum,
