Heinrich Giebel (born November 1, 1865 in Kassel , † January 22, 1951 in Marburg ) was a German painter .

Life

Giebel studied painting from 1880 to 1889 at what was then the Kassel Art Academy and was taught by Hermann Metz and Professor Georg Koch. Giebel visited the Willingshausen painters' colony in the Schwalm for the first time in 1888. The small painters' colony was particularly popular in the summer and gained its popularity from regular visitors from the Düsseldorf, Berlin, Munich and Kassel academies.

Giebel got to know the most important painters in the Schwalm, Hermann Kätelhön , Ludwig Knaus, Adolf Lins, Hugo Mühlig and Carl Bantzer , to name just a few who shaped Willingshausen. Giebel was one of the last painters in the old Willingshausen painters' colony. The painter received a scholarship at the art school in Munich . Giebel wanted to perfect his skills in Munich and mostly painted landscapes. His study stay lasted from 1893 to 1901, until Giebel finally returned to Kassel.

In 1904 he settled in Marburg, where he first founded a painting school . In 1912 he was given the teaching position for drawing and painting at the University of Marburg . The trained artist worked as a respected portraitist and university teacher in Marburg. Heinrich Giebel retired in 1934.
