Life
JoKarl Huber was born as Karl Josef Huber in Laudenbach, a hamlet that today belongs to Weikersheim in Tauberfranken . There he also spent his childhood. After graduating from the Schubart-Gymnasium Aalen , he studied law and philosophy in Tübingen and Munich from 1920 to 1926, and from 1928 painting at the Munich Art Academy . There he became a master student of Karl Caspar (painting) and Adolf Schinnerer (drawing). In 1936 his works, like the works of all modern artists of the time, were classified as degenerate art . This was followed by an official painting ban, which was equivalent to a professional ban as an artist. Huber worked as a lithographer and glass artist , which did not fall under the painting ban. From 1934 he lived mainly in Seeshaupt on Lake Starnberg in the Weilheim-Schongau district . The municipality of Seeshaupt issued a construction ban on its property during the Nazi era . In 1936 Pastor August Uhl brought his school friend to renovate the local church of St. Peter and Paul in Weil der Stadt . In 1938 JoKarl Huber married the artist Hildegard Sasse (born November 25, 1905 in Gütersloh, † January 20, 1999 in Seeshaupt). In 1939 he gave the devil the facial features of Adolf Hitler in a glass painting depicting the temptation of Jesus . The window was installed in the parish church of Weil der Stadt in 1940. In 1941 Huber was drafted into the war and took part in the Second World War. In 1942 his daughter Ursula was born. 1944 fell Huber Officer (Upper purser ) in the French Le Havre in British captivity . After the war he taught drawing at the Munich Art Academy from 1946 to 1949. In the meantime, he received the official building permit for his property in 1947 and built his own home and studio in Seeshaupt. Numerous works by the versatile artist, including works of glass art, mosaics, sculptures, paintings and graphics, have been preserved to this day.
