Life
Wyland, who comes from a traditional family of art locksmiths in Cologne, has carried out large orders in Germany and Europe since the 1920s . From the 1950s he also worked in the USA .
Carl Wyland's grandfather Johann Wyland (1811–1884) founded an art locksmith's shop in 1835.
At the age of 17, Carl (Hubert) Wyland decided to continue the family tradition and began a three-year apprenticeship in his father's company. His brother Heinrich opted for electrical engineering. After his apprenticeship, he attended the arts and crafts school from 1906 to 1909, then the building trade, mechanical engineering and commercial college in Cologne. There Wyland was instructed in forging technology, statics, building construction and drafting. In 1911/1912 he completed his training in the technical office of the Wanzelius & Schlüsselburg machine factory in Metz. He joined his father's workshop in 1913 after completing an internship in France.
In 1922 Wyland took over the workshop of his father Carl Gustav Wyland (1848–1922) and switched from an art locksmith to a pure art blacksmith. His wife Maria, b. Frings - whom he married in 1921 - was a sister-in-law of the Cologne architect Ernst Wilhelm Scheidt (1889–1961). Their only son died in Russia on November 9, 1943.
Wyland worked with well-known architects such as Werner March and Rudolf Schwarz and received numerous national and international awards for his work. He also worked according to designs by the Austrian sculptor Wolfgang Wallner, who was a friend of his ( Kölner Werkschulen ).
At the beginning of the 1960s he taught the sculptor Wolfgang Göddertz . One of the last pupils who Wyland trained in the blacksmith's trade shortly before his death in 1972 in Cologne was the Neuwied blacksmith and metal sculptor Klaus Rudolf Werhand .
Carl Wyland's estate is in the Museum of Applied Art in Cologne.
