Life

Carl Gottlieb Reinhardt had been known for his glass work, glass pastes and impressions of cameos for a number of years when they met with such approval that he was appointed a member of the Academy of Arts in Berlin in 1825 .

At the end of 1824, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe became acquainted with the casts made by the Berlin glass paste maker Carl Gottlieb Reinhardt from the gem collection of Baron Philipp von Stosch . In 1824, 1825 and 1827 Goethe received a number of paste consignments from Berlin.

Following an order from the Royal Prussian Minister of State Freiherr vom Stein in 1821 , Carl Gottlieb Reinhardt published a cast collection from the Stosch Collection in 1826, which for the first time provided a view of all the gems described by Johann Joachim Winckelmann . The 3,442 plaster casts, ordered according to Winckelmann's description, cost 230 thalers Prussian courant, including 13 thalers for the mahogany cases. Through the mediation of Alfred Nicolovius, Goethe acquired such a collection from Reinhardt for 150 thalers.

The list of cut stones in the Goethe essay in the Royal Museum of Antiquities in Berlin. 1827. attached diagram shows that Goethe was very interested in Reinhardt's activities and thought of a detailed account (the story of the artist Reinhardt, ... carefully going through the collection in detail ...).

The Berlin Literary Wednesday Society offered a gold signet ring with Goethe's Reinhardt head after Rauch as a prize in a competition on Goethe's birthday in 1826. Reinhardt also cut the Goethe medal from Antoine Bovy in glass.

At the Berlin academy exhibitions in 1826, 1828, 1830, 1832, 1834 and 1846, Carl Gottlieb Reinhardt was present with exhibits, for example with light screens with portraits of the royal family or with scholars and poets and antique and modern glass pastes and gem impressions.

Carl Gottlieb Reinhardt was retired from 1841 and was last recorded in Berlin in 1850.

He was married to Marie Sophie Reinhardt geb. Honorable. So far it is known that the couple had two daughters and two sons: Friederike Louise (* 1815), Johann Adolph (* 1818), Friedrich Wilhelm (* 1821) and Marie Sophie (* 1824).
