Friedrich Wilhelm Graupenstein (born September 2, 1828 in Minden ; † May 25, 1897 in Hamburg ) was a German portrait painter and the last representative of artistic portrait lithography in Hamburg.

Life

Childhood and youth

Friedrich Wilhelm Graupenstein was born as the son of master shoemaker Carl Friedrich Graupenstein and his wife Friederica Charlotte, née Grimme (or Grimmen ), on September 2, 1828 in Minden and was baptized as a Protestant there on September 12. He had an older sister and two younger brothers, Eleonore Auguste, Carl Friedrich and Louis. Louis died three months after he was born. When Friedrich Wilhelm's mother died, his father gave in to his inclinations more and more and turned to science and the arts in addition to shoemaking. He founded a song board in Minden and occasionally had songs or poems printed by himself in the Minden Sunday paper or in the Westphalia magazine . So Friedrich Wilhelm was drawn to singing and drawing from an early age. Since his father neglected shoemaking more and more, there was soon no more money for the school books he needed. After repeated admonitions about a book that had not been purchased, Friedrich Wilhelm was sent home by the teacher at the city school. The father made it possible to teach his sons himself after the Reformed preacher of Minden gave him the testimony that he was also able to do so. Friedrich Wilhelm suffered a lot from this morally, but was accustomed to independence early on. In his many free hours he often gave help to the pharmacist Witting. He recognized the talents of the young Graupenstein and promoted his education. He also took him to the theater or the opera. Through Witting he was recommended to the secret government and medical councilor Nikolaus Meyer for services. The well-educated Meyer lovingly and pedagogically took on the young Graupenstein and promoted his education with appropriate books. In Meyer's house, Graupenstein saw oil paintings for the first time , but also sculptures , engravings and lithographs , which he eagerly copied.

Studied art in Berlin

Meyer managed to get the young Graupenstein to attend the Royal Prussian Academy of the Arts in Berlin with a Minden Lodge grant of 66 Reichstalers , which was granted for three years . At the time he still wanted to become a history painter. After a conversation with Johann Gottfried Schadow and the entrance exam, he was accepted into his so-called plaster class . He also studied with Heinrich Dähling and Carl Joseph Begas . For a small fee he also took part in Eduard Holbein's lessons in his private studio . In 1847 he won an academic prize of 25 Reichstalers. In 1848 he also received an award. In addition to the money from the scholarship, he earned 3 to 5 Reichstaler a month as a paid art student, which meant that he supervised the lowest drawing classes and had to draw all kinds of templates, but could also attend lectures free of charge. In 1848 he was granted a scholarship of 100 Reichstalers from the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV. , Which he also received in 1849 and 1850.

March Revolution

1848 was all about the European revolutions . The March Revolution raged in Germany . In Berlin Graupenstein now belonged to the artist corps of vigilantes and had occasionally in the Berlin City Palace guard duty, where he also appealed to Frederick William IV.. He proudly wore his uniform, the Calabrian with black, red and gold cockade and black bird's wing , as well as the dragged saber , the metal end of the scabbard rattling on the pavement as he walked. Since the artist corps enjoyed free rail travel between Berlin and Magdeburg , Graupenstein took the opportunity to travel cheaply to Minden. There, too, he initially strutted with his uniform and saber, so that children ran after him. He let it go when friends pointed it out to him and dismissed it as a gimmick . There he met Ida Becker, whom he would later marry. In Berlin he soon stopped playing with the soldiers , especially since Friedrich Wilhelm IV had the vigilante groups disarmed in November 1848.

Consequences of the March Revolution

Minden

After his engagement to Ida Becker, he decided to turn away from history painting and turn to portrait painting, because he promised himself faster and more regular money, which he needed to marry and support the equally penniless Ida. From Minden he visited Bad Oeynhausen in the summer of 1850 . There he drew and painted every bather he could win as a customer.

As a result of the failed March Revolution, house searches of respected men in Minden were carried out in 1851 during the reaction era, including Graupenstein, who lived in his father's apartment and was denounced by the police as a very dangerous demagogue . He succeeded in taking out his bridal correspondence , from which something could be read or interpreted with good or bad will , from his full suitcase with a packet of laundry and removed the stern eyes of the police lieutenant by diverting his attention to a foam coin. Although no evidence was found on him, his life was made difficult in Minden, so that he left Minden and preferred to stay away for a while.

Bremen

He hoped to be able to found a home in Bremen , especially since he also brought recommendations and soon made some friends in the best circles. During this time he made small portrait drawings that he created with a chalk pen and a wiper . The brightest spots were scratched in by him. He didn't take a lot of money for his portraits in order to get known in wider circles, which is what happened. In the summer of 1852 he traveled from Bremen to Norderney to expand his clientele. There he drew many of the nobles of the Kingdom of Hanover , such as Count Georg Herbert zu Münster and his wife Alexandrine or the Crown Prince Ernst August von Hanover from the House of Hanover in childhood.

On December 8, 1852, the Bremen police ordered him to leave Bremen within twenty-four hours, as he was falsely accused of trying to work under the mask of a portrait painter for the ideas of democracy. With the help of his friends, he was able to extend the deadline to the end of December with the police chief Senator Georg Heinrich Olbers . He was now allowed to complete accepted orders, but no longer accept any new ones. Although he was able to win the senator for himself after telling his life story and naming his aristocratic customer base, who speaks against a revolutionary attitude on his part, this did not change anything about the requirement to leave Bremen. The influence of Prussia was too great. At Graupenstein's request, Senator Olbrich issued a certificate to him on December 22nd that he had not been guilty of anything political or personal during his stay in Bremen.

Letter from Berlin

On January 8, 1853, Graupenstein received a letter that had been written four days earlier and signed by the chief of the Berlin police, Karl Ludwig Friedrich von Hinckeldey . The reason for the letter was a request written on December 30, 1852 by the Bremen Police Department to the Berlin police to find out the background to the allegations against Graupenstein and the allegations themselves. The Berlin letter shows that Graupenstein was denounced with a message that came from outside Berlin . The allegations against Graupenstein for having participated in political activities on the afternoon of March 18, 1848 and the night afterwards, could be refuted by credible persons who testified that Graupenstein was in his apartment during this period. Graupenstein was thus innocent. He assumed that the informer must have been a Mindener.

Hamburg

In 1853 Graupenstein settled in Hamburg and set up a modest apartment with his young wife. In January or February he stayed in Oldenburg and portrayed Grand Duke Paul Friedrich August von Oldenburg in oil in Oldenburg Castle . Some of the portrait drawings that he exhibited in the permanent art exhibition next to the Hamburg Stock Exchange were discussed in Hamburg newspapers, such as Der Freischütz . In October 1854 he stayed in Minden and made three oil portraits of Leopold Johann Ernst von Pogrell (1850 to 1851 acting mayor of Minden), his wife and his mother. Major general Carl August von Lützerode (father of Olga von Lützerode and Adelaide von Schimmelmann, née von Lützerode ), who had met Graupenstein on Norderney, recommended him to his son-in-law Ernst von Schimmelmann , whose daughter Adeline von Schimmelmann was born recently. He invited him, and so Graupenstein stayed for a few days in Ahrensburg Castle and made two portrait drawings there.

For a few years he always traveled to Norderney for the bathing season to look for customers there. He submitted his Saint Anthony of Padua with the Christ Child , a copy of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo 's painting of the same name, to a raffle there, for which he received 70 Reichstaler. The winner of the picture was King George V of Hanover , whose son he had drawn years ago. In another year he submitted his copy of Carl Wilhelm Huebner's widow , which earned him 144 Reichstaler. After he painted the shipowner August Bolten in Hamburg, he recommended him to others. That is why he traveled to Rostock , Güstrow , Bützow and Mecklenburg estates in 1856 and 1857 and painted some oil portraits. His oil painting of boxes dignitary raised in Rostock at the lodge brothers the portrait reproduced as a lithograph to see the desire.

Graupenstein had not yet tried his hand at lithography, but he succeeded on his first try. Charles Fuchs , who later mostly had his prints printed, gave him his first stone. During this time, the lithograph Two Mecklenburg Landowners Playing Four Hands was created , which is reminiscent of genre painting because of its detailed background . In 1858 the lithograph was published in Hamburg, showing the new ballet master at the Hamburg City Theater and solo dancer August Levasseur in full size during the dance. But due to the aftermath of the economic crisis of 1857 , the new orders that had been hoped for did not materialize. At that time he lived in Amelungstrasse 9 in the Hamburg-Altstadt district . The orders also stayed away on Norderney, so that he no longer traveled there. For this he won more and more commissions in Oldenburg over the years. Due to family ties of his friend, the Grand Ducal Oldenburg senior librarian Johann Friedrich Ludwig Theodor Merzdorf in Hamburg, he was commissioned by Georg Johann Heinrich Siemers (President of the College of the Elderly and the Hamburg Citizenship , Father of Edmund Siemers ) to lithograph in 1859 . In 1859, this commission also resulted in the next, to lithograph the last senior elders of Hamburg together, who resigned in 1860 when the new Hamburg constitution came into force . In 1860 he moved to Valentinskamp 22, in the same district, and in 1864 to Valentinskamp 20.

In May 1865 the satisfied customer Grand Duke Peter II of Oldenburg awarded him the Cross of Honor 1st Class with the Golden Crown of the Oldenburg House and Merit Order of Duke Peter Friedrich Ludwig . From his wife, the Grand Duchess Elisabeth von Oldenburg , he received a diamond needle with pearl.

In 1872 he moved to Feldstrasse 50, across from Heiligengeistfeld in the Karolinenviertel in the Hamburg-St. Pauli , where he would live until the end of his life. At the end of the 1870s he often traveled to new customers for oil portraits in Kiel , Neumünster and Braunschweig , where he portrayed Duke Wilhelm von Braunschweig at least twice. He never went on a vacation or pleasure trip until the late 1870s. It was not until the 1880s that he often traveled to the Harz Mountains to relax in the summer , because he began to be ill and very often dizzy.

He created Graupenstein's last lithograph in 1896 and his last oil painting was a portrait of Heinrich Gieschen . The portrait was preceded by a competition organized by the property owners' association , in which five painters took part. Graupenstein's portrait was unanimously recognized by the board as the best and most similar picture.

On Monday, May 24, 1897, he did a few things, like handing in a statement, trimming his beard and cutting his hair, buying a ticket and packing his suitcase, because he wanted to travel to Minden the next day. The next morning he became very unwell after getting up, so that his wife sent for the doctor, who however arrived late because he was not currently having a consultation. When he got warm he said: "Now I want to sleep". When his wife checked on him a few minutes later, he had died.

On Friday, May 27th, the day after Ascension , the main pastor of the German Reformed congregation in Hamburg, Hermann Spörri, gave the memorial speech in his studio. A stately entourage accompanied his coffin to the nearby burial site of the German Reformed community, which belonged to the Dammtor cemeteries . The Masonic lodges Globus , Pelikan and Zur golden Kugel had placed wreaths on his coffin. The lodge brothers, including some of his former opponents, formed a chain and sang goodbye.

One day later, Spörri's memorial speech was published in print, and Otto Rüdiger's article, Life of the Painter Wilhelm Graupenstein , appeared as a special literary supplement in Hamburger Nachrichten No. 25 and 26 . The speech and Otto Rüdiger's revised article appeared shortly afterwards together in a booklet entitled Der Maler Wilhelm Graupenstein , which was published by Schröder & Jeve in Hamburg.

Graupenstein was later reburied at the Ohlsdorf cemetery , at the latest when the Dammtor cemetery was closed. In the area of ​​the Althamburg Memorial Cemetery , near the main entrance to the cemetery, the graphic artist and painter is reminded of Johann Wilhelm Graupenstein, among others, on the double collective grave, whose name is on the left graphic artist's grave plate.

  • Tomb slabs

Graupenstein was a member of the General German Art Cooperative and the Art Association in Hamburg . His artistic life's work includes over a thousand chalk drawings , almost four hundred and fifty oil portraits and around three hundred lithographs , mostly portraits of wealthy people from the Hamburg bourgeoisie . He donated two hundred and seventy lithographs to the Hamburger Kunsthalle .

family

Graupenstein and his wife had a daughter and two sons. The eldest son Rudolf Philipp Friedrich Wilhelm Graupenstein (1853–1933) was first a merchant in Hamburg, then a Chilean consul in Leipzig and finally a freight forwarder in Leipzig. He was married to Elisabeth Graupenstein, née Hinsch . The younger son Henry Magnus Ernst August Graupenstein (1856–1930) was a foreign trade merchant in Hamburg.

Freemasonry

Already in Minden Graupenstein aroused the interest in Freemasonry , because his father was first serving brother there , then castellan of the Johannisloge Wittekind at the Westphalian Porte , until he was finally accepted into the lodge as a real member . In Oldenburg, Friedrich Wilhelm Graupenstein learned a lot from his friend the lodge historian and chief librarian Johann Friedrich Ludwig Theodor Merzdorf from the Grand Ducal Oldenburg about various types of teaching and the various lodge systems.

To the golden ball

In Hamburg he was admitted to the St. John's Lodge on March 5, 1855 , and was promoted to a journeyman and comrade on June 11, 1855 . He was a substantial speaker from 1858 to 1859 , and from 1859 to 1860 . November 22, 1860 to November 9, 1863 second deputy lodge master and from November 9, 1863 to November 1875 lodge master . The painter Carl Gottfried Eybe also held high offices in the same lodge from 1859 to at least 1870 as second deputy lodge master and deputy lodge master .

On the occasion of the lodge's centenary, Graupenstein researched the lodge archives in Hamburg and wrote the manuscript for lodge brothers history of the St. John's lodge on the golden ball in Hamburg , which appeared in 1870 for the anniversary. On the same occasion, in 1870, he was honored by the Prussian Crown Prince Friedrich III. , the Master of the Order of the Grand Lodge of the Freemasons of Germany , to be received in audience. He wanted to come to Hamburg for the anniversary of the Lodge, but the sudden outbreak of the Franco-German War was supposed to prevent this. For the anniversary of the lodge, Graupenstein received an ivory lodge hammer decorated with carvings from his lodge brothers and an album with photographs of all lodge brothers in it. After the war, in 1871, he presented the crown prince with the honorary diploma of honorary membership of the Zur golden Kugel lodge and was consequently invited to the table at which, in addition to the crown prince, field marshals Karl Friedrich von Steinmetz , Eberhard Herwarth von Bittenfeld and August von Werder also took part. After the dinner, the Crown Prince drew him into a lengthy conversation and found words of homage for the part of the Hamburg Infantry Regiment No. 76 in the war. He authorized Graupenstein to publish these words, which also happened shortly afterwards in the newspaper Hamburgischer Correspondent . He also distinguished Graupenstein by giving him his picture with his own handwritten signature.

Also in 1871, Wilhelm Graupenstein, on behalf of the Hamburg Johannisloge Zum Pelikan, wrote his handwriting for the Brothers story of the St. Johannis-Lodge zum Pelikan in Hamburg for their centenary. The foreword was written by the master from the chair of the Zum Pelikan Lodge, Wichard Lange . As a thank you, Graupenstein was made an honorary member of the Zum Pelikan Lodge on March 16 at the anniversary celebration by Wichard Lange and presented him with the honorary diploma . During the celebration also long been of Graupenstein on behalf of the Lodge At the Golden Globe for their honorary member appointed.

Disputes

During the deliberations on the construction of a new lodge house, Graupenstein and his lodge brothers got into disagreements with personalities from the superior Lower Saxony Provincial Lodge in Hamburg. At the end of this dispute, Graupenstein was removed from his position as lodge master in November 1875 and was also not allowed to attend a Masonic meeting for six months. In vain did the lodge brothers of the Golden Ball claim back the donations they had made for the construction of the lodge house. Many lodge brothers of the Golden Ball were dissatisfied with the hesitant handling of the Graupenstein case , namely the rehabilitation of their lodge master by the grand lodge , and gathered almost conspiratorially in the restaurant of a lodge brother in the caffamacher row . Here they founded the Globus club on November 25, 1875 , the purpose of which was to

"... to offer the brothers of the Lodge to the golden ball the opportunity to get to know each other better and in this way to promote sociability and brotherhood ..."

In the Lodge at the Golden Ball an opposition of 44 brothers now formed within the Lodge, which at that time had 142 brothers.

globe

After the dispute over the unpaid donations continued to escalate and an end to the dispute was not in sight, 34 brothers resigned from the Zur golden Kugel Lodge on June 30, 1876 . 28 of them decided to found a new lodge. With the help of the experienced Graupenstein, who was still prevented from visiting lodges, but not from visiting the Globus Club , the brothers submitted an application for a constitutional patent to the Grand Lodge Zur Sonne in Bayreuth, which had a different lodge system than the Grand State Lodge of the Freemasons of Germany , to which the Lower Saxony Provincial Lodge was subordinate. They chose Globus as their lodge name . On September 5, 1876, the application was sent to Bayreuth, on September 12 the election of the civil servants' council took place and on September 19 the approval came from Bayreuth. Since the general meeting on October 6, 1876, the superfluous Globus club no longer existed, whose name and most of the members had already been incorporated into Johannisloge Globus . On December 1, 1876, the lodge was ceremoniously opened. On December 15, Graupenstein was made an honorary member of the lodge and also joined the lodge a little later after he had resigned from the lodge to the golden ball .

On March 5, 1880, Graupenstein, who had been elected Master of the Chair of the Globus Lodge , celebrated his 25th anniversary as a Freemason. The celebratory lodge, which was attended by around 140 lodge brothers, was given a special consecration by accepting one of his sons into the lodge. On June 21st, at the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Freemasons, he unveiled the portrait of Johann Friedrich Hoffmann, who had been painted by the chair of the Hamburg lodge Zur Brudertreue on the Elbe . In March 1883, in his lecture at the foundation festival of the Johannis Lodge in Hamburg, he thanked him for the third re-election as master of the chair . The current year was now his fourth year in a row as Master of the Chair of the Lodge Globus .

In 1883, Bremen also sent an application for a constitutional patent to the Grand Lodge Zur Sonne in Bayreuth, which was also approved. Shortly afterwards, the new Zur Hansa von Graupenstein Lodge was inaugurated in Bremen . For his services he was also made an honorary member of this lodge .

In the last years of his life, Friedrich Wilhelm Graupenstein resigned from the chairmanship of the Globus Lodge , but was then appointed Honorary Master by all members of the Lodge .

Donations to the Minden Museum

The entrepreneur Günther Fielmann runs many ecological, social and societal projects, the successful art collector is also active as an art patron. For him, the art historian Jürgen Ostwald searches through exhibition and auction catalogs and travels across Germany in search of art treasures. He spends up to 300,000 euros annually to give even the history of the smallest village, mainly in Schleswig-Holstein , but also in Lower Saxony, a face, so to speak, or to beautify the existing face. For him it is not the larger museums that are in the foreground, but the small ones, which are often run by volunteers. From 2007 to September 2009 alone, over thirty museums in Schleswig-Holstein came up with works that they could not have afforded with their own resources.

In June 2014, Fielmann AG presented the city of Minden with an oil portrait painted by Graupenstein in a gold frame of the acting mayor of Minden Leopold Johann Ernst von Pogrell, who was acting from 1850 to 1851 as a donation for the Minden Museum . On March 4, 2015 another donation of two Graupenstein portraits took place by the manager of the Minden Fielmann branch Ina Rinsche and the art historian Jürgen Ostwald in the Minden museum. Both pictures and the associated gold frames were previously restored on behalf of Fielmann AG. They show Maria Franziska Caroline Wilhelmine Harten, née Schmidts , the widow of the Minden wine merchant Georg Friedrich Harten, and her daughter Emilie Dorothea Auguste Wilhelmine von Pogrell, née Harten , the wife of Johann Ernst Leopold von Pogrell. The three paintings were painted by Graupenstein in Minden in October 1854 and, with their similar, gilded frames, they go well with each other in terms of style.
