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 early work from Eckenbrecher, when he was just 16 or 17 years old, already shows his existing talent before he had even enjoyed an academic education. His father was a man of the world and Themistokles often accompanied him on his travels. At an early age, he told his parents that he wanted to become a marine and landscape painter. The young artist quickly developed a passion for sailing ships, which he made a recurring motif in his works. He would perfect the subtle light moods and balanced compositions evident in his early work later with his private teacher Oswald Achenbach (1827 - 1905) at the Düsseldorf School of Painting between 1861 and 1863.
