Georg Lily

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Horst Georg Lilie (born December 9, 1873 in Leipzig ; † November 1, 1935 in Kaltensundheim ) was a German landscape painter and architectural draftsman, as well as a drawing teacher and local historian.

Live and act

Lilie was a son of the writer, chronicler and journalist Moritz Lilie (1835–1904); his younger brother Walter (1876–1924) also became a painter.

From 1899 Lilie worked as a real teacher at the Reformrealgymnasium in Meiningen .

For the Thuringian standard work on the preservation of monuments, the architectural and art monuments of Thuringia , between 1902 and 1910 Lilie created around 800 pen drawings of local views, buildings and details such as communion implements or door locks. Many of these drawings can be found today in the archive of the Thuringian State Office for Monument Preservation and Archeology and in the Thuringian State Archive in Meiningen .

As a freelance artist, he painted portraits and landscapes in watercolor and oil.

In addition, Lilie will "have made lasting contributions to the maintenance [from 1912] of the collections of the Henneberg Antiquities Research Association and as a curator [from 1926] of the former Henneberg Museum in Meiningen in the 1920s and 30s."

Lilie temporarily looked after the Municipal Museum in Schloss Elisabethenburg . In addition, he helped design the Baumbachhaus, acquired by the city of Meiningen in 1921, into a local history museum with a memorial room dedicated to the poet Rudolf Baumbach . From 1933 he also took over the theater museum.

Lily wrote monographs on the regional history of Saxony-Meiningen and published several hundred newspaper articles in the Meininger Tageblatt .

His estate with a "collection of images on architecture, sculpture, painting, music, literature and history and a collection of newspaper clippings and images on Thuringian, in particular southern Thuringian regional history and folklore" is in the Thuringian State Archives in Meiningen.
