Hugo Jaeckel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hugo Jaeckel (born May 11, 1864 in Spandau , † after 1933 ) was a German landscape and glass painter .

Life

Hugo Jaeckel received his training from 1881 to 1884 at the Akademie der Künste in Berlin . This was followed by training in glass painting in Munich until 1888. Jäckel then settled in his hometown, where he mainly made glass paintings for churches, for example for the churches in Zerkwitz and Spandau and for the Ständehaus in Neuruppin.

In 1895 Jaeckel bought the Büdnerei B 54 (today: Hauptstrasse 20) in Althagen , today a part of Ahrenshoop , which he converted into a summer house with a studio. Like Paul Müller-Kaempff (1861–1941), Elisabeth von Eicken (1862–1940), Friedrich Wachenhusen (1859–1925) and Anna Gerresheim (1852–1921), he belonged to the founding generation of the Ahrenshoop artists' colony . In Althagen mainly landscapes were created that had the Fischland and Darß as their content. In 1916 he sold the house to the Berlin photochemist and physicist Adolf Miethe , who bought it as a gift for his daughter Käthe .

“He owned a big house in town; this little one was only to be the place of his summer, which consisted of sailing and fishing and hunting and painting too. He called himself a painter and has painted at times. But he took pride in the fact that his paintings were not for sale. "

- Kathe Miethe

"It was said of him that he would have liked to spend days on the water with his boat and would have made precious little effort to become known as an artist and to stand out with works at exhibitions."

- Hermann Glander and Erich Venzmer

At the beginning of the 1930s the traces of the painter are lost. The last clues are the information in the Berlin address books up to 1933, in which he was listed as a landscape painter in Berlin-Spandau.
