Carl Thies (also: Karl Thies ; † 1930 ) was a German photographer in Hanover in the 19th and 20th centuries .

Life

Hand- colored and varnished photo in cabinet format of a flower-decorated motor vehicle of the Hanoverian Automobile Club on June 20, 1913 - the day of the inauguration of the New Town Hall in the presence of Kaiser Wilhelm II.

As early as 1875 to 1878 there was a photo studio owned by Messrs Thies & Nordahl in Hanover, whose work at the trade exhibition in 1878 was recognized in the exhibition newspaper . In 1880 Carl Thies founded his company as the sole owner.

The photographer and stationery dealer Leonhard Wachenfeld (born September 25, 1868 in Kassel, † November 24, 1941 in Hofgeismar) worked in Carl Thies' studio from 1888 to 1911 .

From 1893 to 1897, the cameraman Friedrich Paulmann (* November 8, 1878, † March 10, 1958 in Berlin) trained as a photographer with Carl Thies.

Posthumously , the address book of the city of Hanover from 1932 recorded two women as the owners of the building on the right corner of Wilhelmstrasse as seen from Hildesheimer Strasse, the house at 15 Höltystrasse ; the trade teacher E. Thies and the music teacher K. Thies, while the Photographic Atelier Carl Thies continued to operate on the ground floor - without naming a new owner.

Studios

Two studios of Carl Thies are known:

• The studio at Deisterstraße 1, at the Ihmebrücke in Linden . It was thus adjacent to the house of Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves in Linden, who had previously bought the property at Deisterstraße 2 (today: Schwarzer Bär 2 , location of the Capitol ) from the manufacturer Johann Egestorff in 1819 . Around 1900, the photographer Otto Kamm had his studio in the Laves building, which had already been demolished in 1913 .
• Thies had another studio at “ Höltystrasse 13, near the Aegidienthorplatz .” Photos of the studio house with the front and back of the building are owned by the Historisches Museum Hannover . The owner of this studio, now at 15 Höltystraße , was Wilhelm Lange around 1925 .

Famous works

• The picture Field service for prayer for the emperor on June 22, 1878 on Waterlooplatz has been preserved by Thies & Nordahl .
• A photo of the educational scientist can be found in the estate of Hans Ahrbeck in the archive database of the library for research on the history of education .
• Uniforms of the Royal Hanoverian Army in 1866 is the title of a large-format photomontage that was made in the Atelier C. Thies in 1887 with a background drawn by F. Struckmeyer .
• Large-format landscape and architectural photos are known around 1900 , for example from the Stephansstift in Hannover-Kleefeld .
