Life

After an apprenticeship as a carpenter , Hartl studied interior design with Richard Berndl at the State School for Applied Arts in Munich from 1970 to 1920 . He had to interrupt his studies for a few months in the military service . As a furniture technician, Hartl was employed by the Deutsche Werkstätten in Munich from 1920 to 1924 . Here he was shaped by the drafting of drafts by well-known architects of the time. At that time, Karl Bertsch , Bruno Paul , Richard Riemerschmid , Adelbert Niemeyer , Wolfgang von Wersin and Else Wenz-Viëtor worked for the workshops . During a brief employment as an interior designer at Fritz August Breuhaus in Cologne and Düsseldorf, Hartl worked on houses for Fritz Andreae in Feldafing on Lake Starnberg, for Wilhelm Schürmann in Essen-Bredeney and Alexander Koch in Darmstadt . In 1926, Hartl went to the Schürmann brothers' furniture store, which was based in Essen, Cologne, Dortmund and Bielefeld, as chief architect. In 1932 he was appointed as a lecturer for spatial art at the applied arts school in Wiesbaden .

In 1934 he began working as a freelancer for the Deutsche Werkstätten Hellerau after he had won a prize in a workshop competition. In the following year he also took over the sales point of the workshops in Frankfurt am Main as managing director. From 1939 Hartl was called up for military service again, which was interrupted from 1942 to 1943 by a teaching substitute at the Dresden Art Academy .

After the war, Hartl lived as a freelance architect in Dresden and was appointed associate professor at the architecture department of the Technical University (today TU Dresden ). From 1951 Hartl lived in Darmstadt, where he taught as director and class leader and later, in 1958, as head of the interior design department at the Werkkunstschule .
