Friedrich Reinecke (also: Samuel Traugott Friedrich Reinecke ; born February 25, 1837 in Berlin ; † August 11, 1904 in Hanover ) was a German photographer .

Life

family

Samuel Traugott Friedrich Reinecke was born in 1837 as the son of the Berlin businessman and owner of a Capwein wholesaler, Johann Samuel Gottlieb Carl Reinecke, which was then located at Leipziger Strasse 104 in Berlin. His mother was Wilhelmine Beyerhaus. Reinecke was baptized in Berlin on March 26, 1837, a good four weeks after his birth.

Also in the Prussian capital, he married his wife Marie Elisabeth Friederike Ida in the Invalids Church (born August 14, 1840 in Berlin, baptized September 17, 1840 in the Invalids Church in Berlin, † February 4, 1912 in Hanover). In Hanover , the couple became parents of several children, including

  • Wilhelmine Friederike Louise Elisabeth Helene (* August 8, 1861 in Hanover, baptized on September 25, 1861 in the Gartenkirche , married on February 28, 1889 to the drugstore owner Hugo Ilgner, who came from Neustadt , then in West Prussia († April 30, 1935 ), died in Heilig-Geist-Stift ). Their son Fritz Reinecke († May 20, 1943 in Hanover) became an officer at sea.
  • Ernst Karl Friedrich Reinecke (born April 20, 1864 in Hanover), businessman and from 1897 owner of the rubber goods company Ernst Reinecke , who lived at Neuer Weg 3 in Hanover until 1904 .

In the year of Reinecke's death, the Hanoverian address book for 1904 included the address of Neuerweg 3 for the photographer, as well as the businessman and owner of the company of the same name, Ernst Reinecke, who traded under the same address and was entered in the commercial register at the Hanover District Court . This is said to have moved out of the building in 1904. The Hanover address book for the following year 1905 only lists the photographer's widow in the building on the corner of - then - Friedrichstrasse on the connecting path to Leinstrasse, who lived in the main building at number 3 on both floors, as well as the one who lived at number 3a Widow Ilgner.

Friedrich Reinecke's family had already settled in the royal seat of the Kingdom of Hanover in the early 1860s . In the year following the year of his daughter Helene's baptism, the address book of the royal capital and residence city of Hanover for the first time recorded the head of the household and the same address of his company as "photogr. Institute ”at the address Neuerweg 2a . He was the immediate neighbor of the first established photographer in the history of the city of Hanover , Friedrich Wunder , who lived in “Haus Billet No. 3 ”had set up his own photographic studio on Neuer Weg and was able to increase his prosperity with the emerging Carte de Visite photography.

Also from the year 1861, the year of Friedrich Reinecke's branch on Neuer Weg, some of the oldest known exterior photographs, the city ​​views , date back to the documentary photographs of the inauguration of the Ernst August monument . A review of all known photographs with Hanover motifs from the 19th century by the photography historian Ludwig Hoerner showed that Friedrich Reinecke in particular - and above all Georg Alpers among the competitors - acted as strong competitors to Friedrich Wunder.

On April 25, 1862, Friedrich Reinecke became the new owner of the property at Neuer Weg 3.

From the 1860s on, Reinecke took part in various exhibitions and was honored with various medals. He was awarded the Medal of Merit for his architectural photographs shown at the World Exhibition in Vienna in 1873, in particular his “interiors” were mentioned in the official report in 1874.

At the general trade exhibition of the - now Prussian - province of Hanover , held in Hanover in 1878 , Reinecke appeared as an "official" photographer and was also represented with his own studio on the exhibition grounds. Since the reputation of photography, in particular due to the lack of a political representation of the professional group - the Photographic Society in Hanover from 1903 was only founded a quarter of a century later - the exhibiting photographers were only allocated remaining places after a waiting period on site, despite their advance payments and timely arrival. Reinecke vented his anger about this with his report in the Deutsche Photographen-Zeitung , which appeared in Weimar the following year . Also in 1879 he recommended himself with an advertisement in the Hanover weekly newspaper for trade and commerce, in particular for the photography of furniture, furnishings and "room furnishings in the Gothic style ."

Around 1878, for example, a photo by Reinecke on the history of the Hanover tram , showing Aegidientorplatz , which was still tranquil at the time, with two double-decker horse - drawn trams , was used as an illustration in the multi-volume standard work History of the City of Hanover published by Klaus Mlynek and Waldemar R. Röhrbein .

At the end of the 1880s, "the Hanoverian photographer F. Reinecke" worked in Bad Pyrmont , where, for example, before 1887 he documented the Helenenquelle , which was animated by five women, as an arranged photograph of the spring, which at the time was still framed by artificially created rock walls and surrounded by a grotto as the center, albeit the - provided - photo was prettified by the participating people.

From 1897 onwards, Friedrich Reinecke, probably accidentally referred to as "the excellent old Franz Reinecke" after the Hanoverian flag factory , was using the "considerable means (and) in almost friendly devotion" approved by the municipal colleges from the art fund for the prehistorian and museum director Carl Schuchhardt Countless photographs for Schuchardt's work The Hanoverian Sculptors of the Renaissance . For documentation purposes, Reinecke photographed some of the objects carved in stone "in the earliest hour of the morning in order to get the relief in the correct oblique lighting."

According to a lapel of a Carte de Visite (CDV) Reineckes, probably from the 1880s , the photographer had taken part in various exhibitions where he was awarded medals for his work :
