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».

After abandoning a career as a lawyer, Michael Haubtmann, who was originally from Prague, moved to the aspiring painter's metropolis of Munich in 1875. There, as a pupil of Julius Lange (1817 - 1878), he discovered and expanded his skills in landscape painting, which he demonstrated on extensive travels. On his excursions he explored canonical sites of the classical Grand Tour, such as the aqueducts of the Roman Campagna or the ancient theatre in Taormina, as well as Egyptian temples and pyramids, but also Swiss mountain lakes or rugged rocky coasts in Greece. Away from his Mediterranean expeditions, adventurous forays took him to lonely fjord landscapes in Norway, whose mystically transfigured, suggestive twilight he masterfully captured in numerous works.
