Life

Gravestone for Kümmel's father Johann Friedrich Kümmel in the garden cemetery

George Caraway was a descendant who is originally from Upper Hesse originating family cumin . He was the son of the stove manufacturer Johann Friedrich Kümmel (* 1770 in Rotenburg an der Fulda ; † 1825 in Hanover), who initially worked in Linden near Hanover , and Anna Dorothea Kümmel, nee Krieg, and the oldest stepbrother of the sculptor Heinrich Kümmel .

At the time of the Kingdom of Hanover , Georg Kümmel learned from the court builder Diederich Christian Ludwig Witting , the painter Johann Heinrich Ramberg and the sculptor August Hengst and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kassel from the sculptor Johann Christian Ruhl, who taught there . In 1831 and 1835 to 1837 he studied at the polytechnic school in his hometown.

He took over the furnace factory of his late father in Linden .

At the trade exhibition of the trade association for the Kingdom of Hanover in 1835 , he exhibited various building decorations in clay as well as samples of faience , stove tiles pressed into shapes and chimney pipes. At around that time, Kümmel was also a member of the Association for the Promotion of Industrial Work in Prussia . He was also a member of the Hanover Art Association founded in 1842 .

In his handwritten memories of his youth, Kümmel noted that the court architect Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves and above all Justus Molthan had harmed his progress. However, it was then the Springe hunting lodge redesigned by Laves and Molthan , for which “C. Kümmel ”or“ GEC Kümmel ”finally supplied the ovens. In addition to simple room stoves , the court stove setter created the tall fireplace in the dining room of the castle in his workshop on the Emmerberg . The furniture made of white-glazed tiles and iron cupboards with its decorative pieces modeled in a typical way of the time was presumably placed after the ceiling stucco was removed and in the course of the painting work. “Certainly at the suggestion of Laves”, Kümmel's brother, the sculptor Heinrich Kümmel , had modeled “the valuable ornamented clay parts and the decorations on the cupboard insert”. Stylistically appropriate character have also in an alloy of brass cast pusher olives and key rosettes at the high entrance doors on the ground floor of the building on.
