Ferdinand Kohl

Ferdinand Kohl (* 1876 or 1877; † 1906 ) was a Baden sculptor who was active in Freiburg im Breisgau .

Kohl came from Odelzhausen , was trained as an apprentice by Freiburg sculptor Julius Seitz from 1896 and is considered his most talented student. He took part in modeling classes at the trade school until 1898, and in that year he won a second prize and created gravestones in great demand at the main cemetery in Freiburg im Breisgau .

With Theodor Hengst , who was also a student of Seitz, Kohl made the Reichsgrave relief in 1903 as well as a "copper-carved, now destroyed figure of an apprentice with a weather vane" for the later Gertrud Luckner trade school . Kohl died in 1906 at the age of 29.
