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».

The jack-of-all-trades Adolf Dell, endowed with an astonishing variety of talents, achieved top performances in all the careers he embarked on. First, he worked as a goalkeeper for the Karlsruher Fußball-Verein e.V., with whom he became German champion in 1910. He then studied at the Akademie Karlsruhe under Wilhelm Trübner (1851 - 1917) and joined the artists' association «Das Junge Rheinland» in 1917. In addition, he not only appeared as an actor in productions by Gustaf Gründgens (1899 - 1963) at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus, but also increasingly excelled in productions for cinema and television from the 1930s onwards. His most lasting contribution to his fame was the role of Franz Buchner in the Black Forest series «Der Forellenhof». Even though he was known to the general public primarily as an actor, he never completely lost sight of painting throughout his life, as evidenced by the present atmospheric landscape.
