Life

Carl Ebbinghaus studied at the Munich Art Academy with Adolf von Hildebrand .

His most famous works in Munich include the memorial to the blacksmith von Kochel (1906–1910) in Lindwurmstrasse in Sendling and the Allegory of Fantasy , also: Rider on a Rising Horse (1907/1908) in Bavariapark in the Schwanthalerhöhe district . Ebbinghaus worked with the Munich architect Carl Sattler on the Sendlinger Fountain Monument and later several times .

As an early member of the German Association of Artists , Ebbinghaus can already be found in the list of members of the 3rd annual exhibition in the Grand Ducal Museum Weimar in 1906 , where he showed the bronze sculpture The Giant and a silver statuette. In 1906 and 1908 he exhibited in the Kunsthalle Bremen .

In the 1920s, Ebbinghaus lived in Berlin-Dahlem (now part of Berlin-Schmargendorf ; Rheinbabenallee 44) in a house built by Alfred Breslauer & Paul Salinger . During his time in Berlin, Ebbinghaus was assigned to the Free Secession Berlin .

Ebbinghaus' bust head of Minerva can also be found on the institute building of the former Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Human Heredity and Eugenics in Berlin-Dahlem, built between 1926 and 1927 (today used by the Otto Suhr Institute of the Free University of Berlin) referred to as the goddess Athena wearing a helmet , for whom the popular actress Henny Porten is said to have sat as model.

As a medalist, Ebbinghaus created the first version of the Karmarsch commemorative coin donated in 1925 by the Hannoversche Hochschulgemeinschaft (today: Leibniz Universitätsgesellschaft Hannover eV). Coins created by him can regularly be found in stores.
