Life

Peter Beyle, who was considered talented at an early age in drawing, painting and crafting, grew up in an old family of teachers in Hamburg. He left school with Selekta and trained as a decorative painter. After the journeyman's examination in 1917, he did military service and studied at the Hamburg State Art School . He then worked for Gustav Dóren, who ran a renowned decoration company in Hamburg. Beyle participated in several exhibitions, worked on equipment and created murals. In 1933 he took over the management of the CA Meyer atelier and worked independently at the same time.

From 1935 to 1964 he headed a newly founded master school of painting in Altona , from 1940 as its technical school director. He had drawn up the institution's curricula himself from 1932 onwards. Beyle always attached great importance to basic craft training and tried to improve the understanding of architecture. He taught building forms, style history and interior design. After the end of the Second World War , he played a major role in the reconstruction of the facility. From 1950 he taught the elective subject visual design in the teacher training of the Pedagogical Institute of the University of Hamburg . He also created blackboards for school book publishers that were used in history classes. Beyle, who had adopted an understandable and pedagogically suggestive way of drawing, also designed illustrations for school books.

Working in homeland security

From 1962 Fritz Beyle volunteered in the newly founded association “De Spieker - Society for Homeland Care and Local Research in the Hamburg Forest Villages”, which runs the Volksdorf museum village . Fritz Beyle played a decisive role in maintaining the buildings and the work in the museum and cultural center. He worked well into old age in terms of craftsmanship and technology, but also didactically and creatively for this cultural institution.

Works

Fritz Beyle created in particular wall paintings and designed interiors in private and public hands, including schools, offices, hotels, restaurants, churches, clinics, air raid shelters and ships. Almost all of the factories were destroyed during the Second World War or removed as a result of renovations. Drafts and original cardboard boxes, sketches, models, graphics and watercolors showing scenic motifs are still available today. You can see that Beyle drew realistic and suitable for educational purposes. Many works can be found in the German Painters and Varnishers Museum, which opened in 1984 and is based in Hamburg-Billwerder , which Beyle co-founded at the time.
