Carl Johannes Louis Langhein (born February 29, 1872 in Hamburg ; † June 26, 1941 in Hadamar ) was a German painter and graphic artist.

Life

Carl Langhein was born in Hamburg as the son of the upholsterer and decorator Carl Jacob Martin Langhein (1846–1914) and his wife Louise Catharina Maria, née Westphal (1849–1873). He attended an elementary school in Hamburg from 1879 to 1886. He then completed an apprenticeship as a lithographer in the Kunstanstalt AG in Wandsbek (formerly Gustav W. Seitz ) until 1890 . In addition, he took drawing courses at the trade school in Hamburg from 1888. From 1890 to 1891 he worked as a chromolithograph in the Lithographische Kunstanstalt Kaufbeuren (formerly Hans Kohler & Co. ) in the Allgäu. From 1891 to 1892 he studied at the Royal Academy of Arts in Berlin with Robert Warthmüller . From 1892 to 1896 he studied at the Art Academy in Karlsruhe with Carlos Grethe and Robert Poetzelberger . At times he stayed to paint in the Grötzingen painters' colony . In 1895 Langhein became Leopold von Kalckreuth's assistant and, until 1912, head of the art academy's lithography workshop, which they founded. Hamburg scholarships from the Averhoff Foundation and the Patriotic Society enabled Langhein to go on study trips from Karlsruhe in the mid-1890s, for example to Adolf Hölzel in the Dachauer Moos , whose pupil he became. From 1897 to 1926, Langhein was the managing director of the newly founded art print shop Künstlerbund Karlsruhe ( KKK ), which was initially called the Langhein stone printing shop. Fine art printing for the artist association . From 1900 to 1912 he was also a lecturer in lithography at the arts and crafts school, painting school and at the Polytechnic in Karlsruhe. From 1896 Langhein traveled repeatedly to the north German coastal region near Cuxhaven to paint , including with Eduard Euler . Soon he discovered the Otterndorf an der Medem east of Cuxhaven , which he often visited. In 1898 he married Anna Elisabeth Schmider (1877–1956) in Karlsruhe.

As part of the celebrations of the golden wedding of the Grand Duke of Baden Friedrich I and Grand Duchess Luise , the Grand Duke in 1906 awarded Carl Langhein and Albert Haueisen , Wilhelm Süs (1861–1933) and Hermann Göhler (1874–1959) the title of professor. The academy professors Hans Thoma and Gustav Schönleber, on the other hand, were each awarded the Golden Medal for Art and Science. In the same year Langhein had a studio house built in Otterndorf am Deich. In 1907, in his role as managing director of the art print shop Künstlerbund Karlsruhe , he co-founded the German Werkbund . In 1910 he moved from Karlsruhe to Ettlingen with his wife and three children . From 1911 he had a house built at Schleusenstrasse 147 in Otterndorf, as his studio house in Otterndorf would have been too small for himself and his family. He played a decisive role in the architectural drafts as well as in the design of the interior furnishings. In 1912 he and his family moved into the new house, which he named Haus Hochkamp .

During the First World War , Langhein was in the Imperial Navy , where he became a lieutenant in the sea defense in the 1st squad of the sailor artillery . Because of his services he was awarded the Hanseatic Cross. In 1918 he founded the GmbH Hanseatischer Kunstverlag based in Hamburg, which was entered in the Hamburg commercial register on December 19, 1918. In 1926 he fell ill with brain paralysis and steadily increasing dementia and was placed in the Lüneburg institution in 1927 . As part of the Nazi euthanasia program Aktion T4 , he was transferred from Lüneburg to the Herborn intermediate facility in 1941 and from there to the Hadamar killing center , where he was gassed with carbon monoxide on June 26, 1941 .

Carl Langhein was a member of the Hamburg Artists 'Association , the Karlsruhe Artists' Association, the German Werkbund , the Badischer Kunstgewerbeverein, the Association of Art Friends in the countries on the Rhine and the General German Art Cooperative . His students included Georg Scholz , Georg Tappert and Wilhelm Laage . He is with works in the collections of the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe , the Heimatmuseum Otterndorf, the Otterndorf town hall , and the city administration Otterndorf, the Letter Foundation , the Sprengel Museum Hannover , the Museum Schloss Moyland near Bedburg-Hau in the Kleve district and in of the graphic collection of the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart . In addition, in 2013 the Professor-Carl-Langhein-Herrenzimmer was set up in Langhein's honor in the Otterndorf Youth Hostel, in the listed former residential building of Langhein, which he had built for himself and his family and has lived in since 1912 . Paintings by the painter and historical photos of the Langhein family hang on the walls of the room, which is accessible to visitors. In 1980 Otterndorf was given a lion sculpture that had belonged to Carl Langhein for years. Today it stands in the courtyard of the Hadler House .

After Carl Langhein in 1975 in the Karlsruhe district Grötzingen the Carl-Langhein Street and in Otterndorf 1996 Prof.-Carl-Langhein path named.

family

Carl Langhein's mother Louise Catharina Maria died in 1873. His father Carl Jacob Martin emigrated to the USA after 1880 , where he and his second wife Minna, née Kuster (1855–1935), had two daughters, Minna and Marie. Carl Langhein had three children with his wife Anna Elisabeth: Johann Hinrich Leopold (1899–1973) became an agricultural economist, was an agricultural councilor in the Ministry of Food in Wroclaw until 1944 and later became an agricultural councilor in the Hadeln / Otterndorf community. Luise Theres (1900–1979) married a banker from Bremen , but divorced during the Second World War. Klaus (1902–1975) became a shipbuilding engineer and was the owner of a small shipyard in Gdansk until 1945 . He later founded a shipyard in Otterndorf.

Foundation, endowment

The Prof. Carl Langhein Foundation was founded in 1999 by Carl Langhein's great-grandson, the Hamburg notary Gerd H. Langhein (1956–2015), who was born in Otterndorf. One purpose of the foundation was to keep the work of Langhein and artist colleagues close to him in memory, to build up further collections, to exhibit and to process them scientifically. In addition, his outstanding contribution to the dissemination of artist's lithography as well as to the art reform efforts at the beginning of the 20th century should be recognized. Another purpose of the foundation was the promotion of art and culture in general as well as cultural projects in Otterndorf and the surrounding area through financial support, scholarships, prizes or the like. Accordingly, she had supported various exhibitions, art projects and cultural ventures in recent years, including in Otterndorf, Ihlienworth and Neuhaus . Shortly before the founder's death, the foundation acquired a warehouse in Otterndorf, which is to become a home for the works of Carl Langhein and the photographs of the Ottendorf photographer Ernst Nöldeke (1876–1971). The renovation of the building has already started. The scholarship recipients included Frank Radmacher (* 1953) in 2000/2001, Hans Georg Assmann (* 1950) in 2003 and Anja Kalenbach (* 1961) in 2008.
