Carl Hauptmann

Carl Ferdinand Max Hauptmann , pseudonym Ferdinand Klar , (born May 11, 1858 in Obersalzbrunn , Province of Silesia , † February 4, 1921 in Schreiberhau in the Giant Mountains , Lower Silesia ) was a German playwright and writer . Like his brother Gerhart Hauptmann, Hauptmann was an author of the literary current of naturalism .

Life

Carl Hauptmann was born as the son of the innkeeper Robert Hauptmann in the Hotel Zur Krone and was the older brother of the poet and Nobel Prize winner Gerhart Hauptmann.

Because of his poor health, Hauptmann stayed with his parents until he was 13 and attended the village school. It was only from 1872 to 1880 that he went to secondary school in Breslau . There he made friends with his classmate Alfred Ploetz - a friendship that lasted until his death.

From 1880 Carl studied natural sciences with Ernst Haeckel and philosophy with Rudolf Eucken at the University of Jena . With the dissertation The Significance of the Seed Leaf Theory for Individuality and the Generation Change , Carl was promoted to Dr. phil. PhD . His earliest work, a poem, was written in June 1881. He was a prominent member of the Monistenbund founded by Haeckel .

After completing his doctorate, he traveled to Italy in 1883, which took him to Genoa , Naples , Capri , Sorrento and Rome . On the return trip, Carl visited his friend Alfred Ploetz in Zurich , who was studying there. Since Carl wanted to embark on a scientific career, he continued his studies with the philosopher Richard Avenarius and the psychiatrist Auguste Forel in Zurich.

Hauptmann's first marriage in 1884 was Martha Thienemann, one of the five daughters of the Dresden wool wholesaler Berthold Thienemann († 1880), owner of the former episcopal-Meissnian summer residence Hohenhaus in Zitzschewig (today in Radebeul ) in the Elbe valley . His brother Georg had married his sister Adele Thienemann in 1881, and his brother Gerhart married a third Thienemann sister, Marie (1860–1914) in 1885.

Financially independent through his marriage, he continued his studies in Zurich. There he met Frank Wedekind . Hauptmann renounced a scientific career in Zurich and instead moved to Berlin in 1889 .

In 1891 he and his brother Gerhart moved into the house they had bought together in Schreiberhau in the Giant Mountains. Today the house is the Muzeum w Szklarskiej Porebie , a branch of the Giant Mountains Museum in Jelenia Góra . Contemporary Polish art from the Giant Mountains is shown here and a small exhibition still reminds us of the Hauptmann brothers.

Hauptmann divorced on May 2, 1908. In the same year he married Maria Rohne for the second time.

Carl Hauptmann's grave is in the former Protestant cemetery in Nieder-Schreiberhau. The grave monument was designed by Hans Poelzig and made of ceramic by his wife Marlene Poelzig . The upper parts of the monument were destroyed in the late 1960s and almost the entire monument in the early 1980s. 1982–1983 the funerary monument was reconstructed in the workshops for monument preservation in Toruń (Thorn). This true-to-original copy is now on the premises of the Schreiberhauer Museum. In the mid-1980s, a solid rectangular grave slab with inscriptions in German and Polish was placed on the grave in Nieder-Schreiberhau.
