Cauer (family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cauer is an extensive family of artists , primarily sculptors . It was particularly evident in Germany in the 19th and 20th centuries. The sixth generation of the artist family was founded by Emil Cauer the Elder (1800–1867), a student of Christian Daniel Rauch .

Emil Cauer the Elder Ä. settled in Bad Kreuznach in 1832 with a studio, in which he trained his sons Karl and Robert Cauer the Elder to be sculptors. His sons Karl Cauer , the inventor of ivory plaster , and Robert expanded the company. In 1856 the family moved into the late Classicist house built seventeen years earlier, which from then on became the family's home and workplace with several studios. The Cauers employed up to 30 people here. In addition to marble figures, figures were made from ivory plaster, which were offered in catalogs and sold all over the world. Robert Cauer also had a studio in Rome. Karl Cauer, who stayed in Bad Kreuznach, had five sons and two daughters with his wife Helene, who was also a sculptor, who were also active in sculpting with the exception of one daughter. Hanna Cauer (1902–1989) was the first female sculptor to be awarded the Rome Prize . She lived in the Cauer House until 1989. After her death, the house passed to the chairwoman of the Cauer Society founded in 1993. After the chairwoman of the society, Ingeborg Best, died in 2011, her granddaughter Carolin Best and her daughter-in-law Ursula Geiss established the Cauer House Foundation in the German Foundation for Monument Protection , to which the old house and numerous works of the Cauer family were transferred.
