Carl Rangenier

Carl Christoph Conrad Rangenier , also Karl Rangenier (born December 17, 1829 in Bemerode , Hanover , † October 20, 1895 in Bautzen ) was a German sculptor .

Life

George I , King of Great Britain and Elector of Braunschweig-Lüneburg , Welfenschloss ( Welfengarten ), around 1862

Born in 1829 at the time of the Kingdom of Hanover and in the town of Bemerode , which at the time was still outside the city fortifications of Hanover , Carl Rangenier, son of a school teacher, enrolled in the "sculpture class" at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich in 1857 at the age of just under 28 .

Just a few years later, Rangenier was commissioned to create the figure of George I , King of Great Britain and Elector of Braunschweig-Lüneburg , around 1862 for the construction of the Welfenschloss - similar to the sculptors Wilhelm Engelhard , Karl Gundelach , Carl Dopmeyer and Georg Hurtzig . The construction of this palace as a summer residence for the family of George V, King of Hanover, determined the pictorial program: To underpin the claim to rule and as a return to the tradition of the Guelphs , a series of eight important rulers from the house of the Guelphs was created in the Bel Etage the facade of the castle between the Welfengarten and the Puttenser Feld .

Around the same time created Rangenier the altar - crucifix for the 1864 inaugurated and according to plans by Conrad Wilhelm Hase rebuilt and restored Lutheran church in Graste .

According to the address book of the city of Hanover from 1868, Carl Rangenier's residence was Herrenstrasse 14 , a street that - in what is now the Mitte district of Hanover - had only been laid out shortly before in 1853 on the Postkamp belonging to the Hinüberschen Posthof and that after the Masonic lodge located there "Herrenloge" was named.

Carl Rangenier died in Bautzen in 1895.
