Albert Grell
Albert Grell (* 1814 in Stralsund , † 1891 in Berlin ) was a German portrait and landscape painter and professor at the Building and Trade Academy in Berlin .
Carl Albert Grell attended the trade school in Stralsund and was then a student of the then well-known painter August von Klöden. In the 1840s he was a specialist teacher in Stralsund for some time. Approx. In 1845, 17 lithographs appeared in his hometown as "Album Neu-Vor-Pommerscher und Rügenscher Cities".
In 1852 he came to Halle (Saale) , where the address books showed him to be a “painter and regular teacher”. He taught drawing, mechanics and construction at the Provinzial-Gewerbeschule founded in the same year - a forerunner of today's Burg Giebichenstein Art College in Halle .
In addition, in the 1850s he worked in the "Thuringian-Saxon Association for Research into Patriotic Antiquity", founded in 1819, which was based in Halle and was dedicated to the care and maintenance of valuable buildings. At his suggestion, his "Halle'scher Architectural Monument Album" was created around 1857. These 40 watercolor pencil drawings are kept in the Marienbibliothek Halle.
From 1865 to 1879, Albert Grell was a lecturer in modeling, ornament and figure drawing at the Berlin Royal Trade Academy and the Technical University Berlin-Charlottenburg. In 1879 he was appointed full professor . For many years he was head of a department in the Berlin art collections; in this function he was replaced by Julius Carl Raschdorff . He retired on April 1, 1891.
Albert Grell married Auguste Zipfel, 10 years his junior, with whom he had a daughter and a son in 1854, presumably in Halle.
