Hauptmann depicted the combination of Feldsee and Seebuck several times in the mid-1930s as a subject for his works. A today partially lost mural in the Feldbergerhof also shows this motif. Looking across the lake, far above at the highest point of the Seebuck, a landmark of the Feldberg peak, the Bismarck monument, can be seen.
We would like to thank Dr. Ruth Hötzel-Dickel, author of the catalogue raisonné, Freiburg i.Br., for the scientific advice via e-mail, based on photos, 28.03.2023.
