Heinz von Zobeltitz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Heinz Karl Wilhelm Alexander von Zobeltitz (born February 7, 1890 in Berlin-Charlottenburg , † February 29, 1936 in Widdersberg near Herrsching am Ammersee ) was a German painter and draftsman.

Life

Heinz von Zobeltitz was born after his sister Fedora as a son in the first marriage of the writer Fedor von Zobeltitz to Klara Auguste Hackenthal (1857–1928). The parents' marriage ended in divorce. The father married the second marriage to Martha Tützer (1872–1949), a businessman from Berlin; the mother also married the writer Ernst von Wolzüge and moved to Munich with him and their son in 1892. She died there in 1928 as a result of a traffic accident.

In January 1901, Heinz von Zobeltitz switched from private lessons to the Maximiliansgymnasium in Munich , but was not transferred and left the school again. After further schooling, including in the Lietz Landerziehungsheim in Haubinda (Thuringia) and since 1906 in the Free School Community of Wickersdorf (Thuringia) , he went to the Grand Ducal Saxon Art School in Weimar . He then attended the “Académie Ranson” founded in 1908 by the painter Paul-Elie Ranson , his wife Marie-France Rousseau and Paul Sérusier , and finally the private school of the painter Moritz Heymann in Munich.

At the end of the First World War, in October 1918, the wedding with the miniature painter and art maker Erna Haselbach took place in Namslau, Lower Silesia . The couple moved into a detached house with a studio in Widdersberg near Herrsching am Ammersee, which was built on their mother's behalf in 1913. Fritz H. Ehmcke , professor at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Munich and his son, the later architect Caspar Ehmcke, and the writer Helene Böhlau , who lived next door, belonged to the circle of friends in Widdersberg . The writer Johann Luzian stayed in Widdersberg for a while before he emigrated to Argentina via Paraguay in 1936. In an unpublished story (1936) and the novel The Unbelieving Thomas , published in Buenos Aires in 1945 , he immortalized the Zobeltitz house and its residents in literary terms. Heinz von Zobeltitz fell ill with cancer and died in Widdersberg. Fritz H. Ehmcke designed his tombstone, whose whereabouts are unknown. Since the marriage remained childless, the Zobeltitz-Spiegelberg line died out with Heinz von Zobeltitz.

The painter's artistic work is largely unknown. A watercolor of the interior of the forest and a painting of a farm on the edge of the forest in an evening mood , offered in art auctions in 2002 and 2009, identify Heinz von Zobeltitz as a landscape painter.
