Josef Zeitler

Josef Zeitler's self-portrait on his tomb

Josef Zeitler , also Joseph (born September 24, 1871 in Fürth ; † March 24, 1958 in Stuttgart ) was a German sculptor who stood out primarily through plastic architectural jewelry in Stuttgart and all of Württemberg . He settled in Stuttgart in 1897 and taught there from 1923 to 1937 as a professor at the higher building school . In 1941 Zeitler planned a "autobiography, which he wanted to publish on his 70th birthday as a review and account of an active and eventful life as an artist". It is not known whether Zeitler actually wrote this autobiography , nor is anything known about the whereabouts of his estate .

Life

Zeitler was born in the Franconian town of Fürth in the Heiligen Gasse (today Heiligenstraße), later the family lived mainly in the Schützenstraße (today Wilhelm-Löhe-Straße). Zeitler told of his birth in his humorous way: "My father claimed that I would have gone into a beer mug, I was so small and nobody would have promised me a long life." Josef's father was the master carpenter AP Zeitler, who met his son at an early age "Too strict professional cooperation" persisted. The father's main business was the manufacture of elaborate jewelry boxes.

Zeitler attended elementary school until he was 13 . His mother (1840–1880), his father's first wife, was “a pious and art-loving woman” who would have liked to turn her son into a painter. His favorite subjects were drawing, singing, gymnastics and geography. A relative of his mother, Vetter Kriegbaum, a painter and photographer, gave him drawing lessons from the age of six. Zeitler later said of him: "This man with his noble nature had the greatest influence on my entire childhood." At the age of nine, the little Zeitler opened a drawing school for children, in which "mostly ... Jumpos (elephants) were drawn". In the meager free time that was left to play, he loved to play circus, puppet theater and theater games. His father's second wife was the younger daughter of Theodor von Muncker , who was Mayor of Bayreuth from 1863 until his death in 1900 and played a key role in the realization of Richard Wagner's festival idea in Bayreuth. Zeitler often came to Bayreuth through his stepmother. "The father of this second woman was close friends with Richard Wagner and so I came to the " Wahnfried "house almost every day and became Siegfried's good friend and playmate."

Apprenticeship

After finishing school, around 1884 at the age of thirteen, Zeitler was sent to an apprenticeship in Gütersloh in Westphalia to his uncle Johann Zeitler, who ran a prosperous workshop for Christian art. “After four years of hard but also very fruitful apprenticeship ... he moved from there by night and fog; the young journeyman , conscious of his ability as a stonecutter , sculptor, carpenter and wood turner is just not like longer than a nanny, house servant and Viehfütterer can use. "If Hafner champion in Aschaffenburg learned it" in a few weeks, the art of ceramics ".

Munich

Then he came back to Fürth for a few weeks around 1888, in order to “escape” to Munich after an inevitable interlude as a carver of mirror frames . Here the seventeen-year-old Zeitler continued his training with the sculptor Josef Flossmann and also came into contact with the renowned architects Gabriel von Seidl , Emanuel von Seidl , Theodor Fischer , Friedrich von Thiersch , Georg von Hauberrisser and Hans Grässel , through whom he, among others Found work on the decoration of the Bavarian National Museum , the New Town Hall , the Palace of Justice and the Church of St. Anna im Lehel .

In the Bavarian capital, Zeitler also worked in a studio for Christian art. There he met Ignatius Taschner , who was of the same age and who studied at the Munich Art Academy from 1889 to 1895 . Taschner was a fun-loving Franconian like Zeitler, and both were in many ways related. Both worked in a wide variety of materials, both loved the small sculptures and the popular genre and fairy tale motifs. They received the order from Sebastian Kneipp to create an altar for Bad Wörishofen , the first major order for both of them. While Zeitler later remained stuck with tradition in his art style, the versatile Taschner developed into Art Nouveau without giving up his inclination for folk art.

Wandering years

It is not known when Zeitler left Munich, at least he then began his years of wandering , which took him “without any cash as a traveling journeyman” on foot across Germany and to Italy, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Dalmatia , Great Britain, Denmark and Sweden led. On the way he hired himself as a sculptor in order to earn a living and to perfect himself in his profession. In connection with the work on the interior of the Berlin City Palace , he spent a year studying in Paris to copy a room in Fontainebleau Palace on behalf of Kaiser Wilhelm II . In Paris he attended the Académie Julian and met the famous sculptor Auguste Rodin , who congratulated him “on his two first works: figural wood carvings with an intimate, humorous touch”. In Brussels he worked on the artistic decoration of Joseph Poelaert's Palace of Justice and in Liège on the design of the town hall stairs.

Zeitler also worked on the decoration of many buildings in many cities in Germany, including in Berlin , where he worked on the Reichstag building and the State Library as well as on the interior of the Berlin City Palace under the architects Paul Wallot , Alfred Messel and Ludwig Hoffmann . His work in Berlin earned him an invitation to dinner, where he sat next to Bismarck , who remarked appreciatively: “Well, you little man have already achieved great things”. He was also employed at the Hamburg City Hall , at the synagogues in Mainz and Frankfurt am Main, on buildings in the cities of Cologne and Münster, and on a church in Düsseldorf built by Heinrich Jassoy . Jassoy, who built Stuttgart's town hall, recommended him to go there, where he and 140 other sculptors were entrusted with work for the new town hall. Among other things, he created 14 reliefs that are now kept in the depot of the city archives after the town hall was largely destroyed in the Second World War and are hidden from the public.

On his travels he probably met his first wife, who gave birth to two daughters, the older one was born in Cologne in 1893 and the younger one in Düsseldorf in 1895. In the same year Zeitler stayed temporarily in Stuttgart, where he created the plastic jewelry for the house at Mörikestrasse 21.

In 1932 Zeitler drew the sum of his years of travel: after he had gone to Munich, “began a life full of privations, disappointments but also full of rich successes. From the age of 14 I didn't cost my father a penny anymore, because I did not attend an art academy or art school, but instead worked for our most famous masters in their studios at home and abroad and helped create important buildings, including all European countries traveled and seen and learned a lot. "

Stuttgart

House Reginenstrasse 38, in which Zeitler lived after the Second World War until his death

In 1897 Zeitler and his family settled in Stuttgart, where he lived for the first three years in Alexanderstraße 170. Until his evacuation in World War II, he lived with his family in various rented apartments in the city center (Heusteigstrasse 103, Seestrasse 97, 102, 32, Jägerstrasse 34, Alleenstrasse 36).

In 1903 he rented a studio in the house at Rote Strasse 7 (today Theodor-Heuss-Strasse), later in the house at Marienstraße 9, and from 1911 to 1927 three floors in the house at Marienstraße 48a, where his auxiliary sculptors, whom he hired to handle his many commissions, also stayed . From 1928 until his retirement he had a studio at the higher building school and from 1941 to 1943 and after the war in the house at Weißenburgstrasse 35. In the first few years Zeitler was entered in the address book as a modeller, later as a sculptor, then as a master sculptor.

In Stuttgart Zeitler was “overwhelmed with orders”. From 1901 until well into the 1920s, he was often entrusted with the sculptural furnishing of churches and public buildings in Stuttgart, but also elsewhere in Württemberg (Elisabethenkirche, St. Fidelis Church, Heilandskirche, Schlachthof, Hans-Sachs-Haus, Heusteigschule) , Graf-Eberhard-Bau, Salamanderbau, market hall, town hall, art building, Hans-im-Glück-Brunnen, forest cemetery, main cemetery). During the redevelopment of the old town in Stuttgart from 1906–1909, he supplied the plastic jewelry for all newly built buildings. He worked with all well-known architects, including Theodor Fischer , Karl Hengerer , Paul Bonatz , Paul Schmohl , Albert Eitel , Martin Elsaesser , Albert Pantle and Clemens Hummel .

Teaching

Egle-Bau, former building school, 1876

Even before the First World War, Zeitler had received calls from the arts and crafts schools in Cologne and Berlin, which he turned down at the insistence of influential personalities. On July 1, 1923 or as early as 1922, Zeitler was appointed professor at the State Higher Building School in Stuttgart, which resided in the historic Egle Building (Schellingstrasse 24), Building 1 of today's University of Technology . He taught freehand drawing and modeling as well as perspective drawing at the school for 15 years . In accordance with the school's mandate to offer practical training in the building trades, Zeitler's practice-oriented lessons turned the "offspring of young architectural sculptors into the best artisans". From 1928 Zeitler also had his studio in the building school. In the spring of 1937 Zeitler was released from his duties because he had reached the age limit .

Second World War

Zeitler was 68 years old when World War II broke out. During the war, in 1943 at the latest, Zeitler and his wife moved to Kiefersfelden in Upper Bavaria , where he stayed with the Stuttgart sculptor Emil Hipp . In 1933, Hipp won a competition from the city of Leipzig for a monumental Richard Wagner monument to be erected in the Richard Wagner grove that was to be built. It can be assumed that Zeitler, who was friends with Siegfried Wagner in his childhood , worked on the construction of the monument, especially since Hipp's auxiliary workers had been drafted into the war. The monument was completed in 1944 but never erected.

From Kiefersfelden, Zeitler tried to bring the project of a fountain "Schöne Lau and Stuttgarter Hutzelmännlein " in Stuttgart under one roof. The written negotiations dragged on, and after the devastating air raids in 1944 the city council had other concerns.

Since Zeitler had settled in Stuttgart at the turn of the century, he was well supplied with orders for over three decades. Despite his good income, Zeitler did not acquire any real estate, but with great passion put together an expensive and valuable art collection ("one of the most important private art collections in Württemberg"), which was also intended as a pension. According to Zeitler, the value of the collection was 80,000 Reichsmarks , and for some individual items (by Tilman Riemenschneider , Veit Stoss , Syrlin) an American museum is said to have offered him one million Reichsmarks. In 1943 Zeitler gave his collection to the city of Stuttgart for safekeeping in the salt mines in Kochendorf . The larger, more valuable part, however, was stored in Castle Löwenstein , contrary to the agreement . This was "set on fire two days before the end of the war" and Zeitler's art collection was destroyed.

Age

After the end of the war, Zeitler and his wife returned to Stuttgart, where he lived until his death in Degerloch in Reginenstrasse 38 (at least from 1948). Unlike after the First World War, the 74-year-old Zeitler was only given a few jobs after the Second World War. His wife's house (Seestrasse 32) had been bombed out and he received a pension of around DM 500 for his 15 years at the higher building school , which was around one and a half times the average income at the time . Zeitler found the level of his income precarious, especially since he had to pay the rent for his studio in Weißenburgstrasse 35. The only known public contracts after the war were the Bienenbrunnen (1945) and the Burgbrünnele (1949), both in Stuttgart- Wangen . In addition, Zeitler received an order from the city in 1949 to design a commemorative plaque that brought him 155 DM net.

From 1949 to 1955 Zeitler tried in vain to offer the city his Schöne Lau fountain. Zeitler's art was considered to be out of date and also believed that it could not justify the high price demanded. The idea of ​​granting him a modest "honorary salary" was rejected because his income was estimated to be too high. In correspondence with the city, Zeitler repeatedly pointed out the loss of his art collection, which in his opinion the city was responsible for. However, the city declined to compensate Zeitler for his war losses. As a result, Zeitler tried in 1954 to obtain compensation through legal action. This attempt was also unsuccessful.

family

Bronze bust "My dear wife", portrait of his first wife, 1913

Nothing is known about Zeitler's first wife. Judging by the years of birth of the daughters, the marriage took place in 1893 or earlier. In 1913 Zeitler made a bronze bust of her, which was destroyed in World War II. The first marriage resulted in two daughters. The older daughter Magdalene Giessenhoffer-Zeitler (* 1893) was born in Cologne and later lived with her husband, the lawyer Robert Giessenhoffer (* 1890), in Stuttgart. She mainly worked as an abstract painter, but also created a figurative fresco on the life of St. Fidelis von Sigmaringen for St. Fidelis Church in Stuttgart, for which Zeitler had created a group of figures and two friezes. (The fresco was destroyed in the Second World War in 1944. ) The younger daughter Anny (* 1895) was born in Düsseldorf and married the painter Oswald Poetzelberger , with whom she lived in Munich and after the Second World War on the island of Reichenau . Zeitler's son Paul H. Zeitler lived in Richmond, Virginia, USA. Nothing more is known about him.

After the death of his first wife, Zeitler married the widow Emmy Löble b. Lehrenkrauss (1886–1968), a daughter of the Stuttgart baker Adolf Lehrenkrauss. After the death of his parents around 1935, through her deceased husband, she inherited the house at Seestrasse 32, which was destroyed in the Second World War.

death

In the last years of his life, Zeitler suffered from a serious eye condition that almost led to blindness. His last works were the altar for the St. Fidelis Church in Stuttgart, for which he had created a group of figures above the main portal and two angel friezes in 1925, and the model of a figure by "Walter von der Vogelweide".

Josef Zeitler died on March 24, 1958 at the age of 86. His wife moved from Degerloch to the house at Stöckachstrasse 23 in Stuttgart-Ost and died a decade later in 1968 at the age of 82. Both are buried in a grave on the Stuttgart forest cemetery in department 10n.

plant

Zeitler is mainly perceived as a building sculptor because most of his work consists of plastic jewelry for public buildings, private buildings and churches as well as for fountains, war memorials and tombs. He loved small sculptures, but did not shy away from larger formats, even if they are the exception. Apart from sacred works and monuments, he lived out his joy in creating humorous characters and scenes with a lot of imagination, which he drew from popular life and fairy tale treasures. Coming from wood carving, he mainly worked as a stone sculptor, seldom he worked in bronze, iron, ceramics and stucco or as a goldsmith.

Zeitler's work was best known for his popular Hans-im-Glück fountain from 1909 on Geißplatz in Stuttgart and many small sculptures and reliefs with fairy tale scenes and genre figures for the renovation of the old town in Stuttgart from 1906–1909. During the First World War he created the nail figure “The Brave Swabian in Iron” made of limewood, which inevitably became known in broad sections of the population.

List of works

The following list of works contains the works by Josef Zeitler that are known through publications. He created many more works that did not become publicly known, especially small sculptures in private ownership and grave monuments.

In Zeitler's handwritten list of works and with Felix Schuster: The sculptor Josef Zeitler. 1937, p. 59, many buildings are also given, without further specification, to which Zeitler made sculptural contributions, but about which no further details can usually be determined. In a number of cases Zeitler is also not mentioned in relevant monographs of buildings, although other sculptors are named. This may have something to do with the fact that Zeitler also worked on commissions that were designed by other artists (architects and sculptors) and that he was involved in carrying out. A documented example of this is the Martinskirche in Ebingen , whose plastic jewelry was designed by others and executed by Zeitler and others.

In other cases it is not known exactly what part of the sculptural decoration of a building goes back to Zeitler:

• Old town renovation: For some of the sculptures listed here, which were created during the old town renovation in 1909, there are no sources that expressly attribute these works to Josef Zeitler. In these cases, the general attribution by Julius Baum from 1909 is used as evidence : The Hans-im-Glück-Brunnen "is the work of the talented sculptor J. Zeitler, as is all the rest of the decorative sculpture of the buildings" of the old town renovation of 1909 .
• Markthalle Stuttgart : According to # Fülscher, Josef Zeitler and Jakob Brüllmann made the sculptural decorations for the market hall in 2014 . From Felix Schuster: The sculptor Josef Zeitler. 1937, pp. 59–60, it emerges that Zeitler created the five reliefs on the main facade. Jakob Brüllmann created the main portals. Besides, nothing is known about the division of labor between the two sculptors.

If it is not expressly stated in the list of works that Zeitler was working from a third-party design, his authorship can generally be inferred if typical Zeitler motifs such as putti and genre scenes are shown.

reception

Josef Zeitler is one of those artists who enjoyed a certain degree of recognition in their local sphere of activity, but who also received hardly any attention. The regional importance of Josef Zeitler was mostly only reflected in his popular works, while the artist remained unknown. For many of his works, his authorship can only be found in scattered sources or can be found in the artist's sparse written statements. On the occasion of the anniversary exhibition of the Künstlerbund Stuttgart, an article on Josef Zeitler appeared in the magazine “Stuttgarter Leben” in 1941. It said:

“Anyone who, like him, has put his art primarily as the decorative sister in the service of architecture and is repeatedly called to work by leading builders, his development and work need not be followed at exhibitions; one encounters his works to a certain extent on hand and foot, even if the name of the author mostly remains in modest concealment. "

In 1919, the architectural writer Johann Friedrich Häuselmann praised Zeitler's lively style of representation, which was refreshingly different from the rigid classicist style that had prevailed until then:

“He started with handcrafted wood carving very early on, which has actually given him the standard for his work throughout his life. Despite occasional attempts at large, Zeitler is a small sculptor who was first styled by baroque Munich life. (...) Zeitler's art is based on small figurative sculptures with more or less baroque decorations. Occasionally it also finds an echo of the Gothic or Renaissance style, depending on the architectural environment. (...)) He has brought abundance, roundness, softness, and amusement to the formerly purely classical-academic Stuttgart sculpture; it was almost a necessity in the architecture that began in Stuttgart in the twentieth century. Without him this would have been a lot poorer, and the entire world of his figures, animals and people, would not have had such an excellent master. "

The Stuttgart architect Felix Schuster (1876–1950), a protagonist of the Württemberg “Heimatschutz” and, like Zeitler, a professor at the Higher Building School in Stuttgart, dedicated an article to Zeitler in 1937 in the “Schwäbisches Heimatbuch”, in which he particularly emphasized the popular trait of Zeitler's art emphasized:

“A special feature of Zeitler's art is his sense of humor and rich imagination. (…) Everywhere the rogue looks out of his work, as so often with his spiritual ancestors, our old German masters. Just look at the funny animal figures at the Stuttgart market hall or his putti. The artist shows a particular preference for wood-carved small sculptures and for types from popular life such as scissors grinders, bear drivers, wandering carpenters, musicians and the like. like. "

In addition to the two monographic articles listed, only newspaper articles on major birthdays and obituaries dealt with the artist Josef Zeitler after the Second World War. There is no comprehensive appraisal of Zeitler's life and work.

Tomb

Josef Zeitler is born together with his second wife Emmy Zeitler. Lehrenkrauss is buried in the forest cemetery in Stuttgart in department 10n. Zeitler's grave stele is surrounded on both sides by grave stelae belonging to members of the artist association: on the left, two steles for the "painter, the Swabian Merian " Walter Rombach (1898–1973) and on the right the grave stele of the "painter" August Köhler (1881–1964).

Zeitler's stone grave stele has a rectangular relief plate made of bronze, which he probably made himself (except for the later inscription of the year of birth and death). The plate fulfills the function of an illustrated short biography. The center of the relief is a round portrait medallion with Zeitler's self-portrait, surrounded by the inscription “If life was beautiful, then it was hard work and effort.” The caption reads: “Josef Zeitler, sculptor u. Prof. ad height. Building School 1922 1937 / 1871–1958 ". The outline drawing of a house between the years 1922 and 1937 illustrates the duration of Zeitler's teaching activity at the higher building school in Stuttgart. Above the portrait is a flying bird, a symbol of the soul that leaves the earth after death.

Four reliefs in the corners of the bronze plaque, which look like a modern comic and are characterized by humor and a dash of self-irony, outline important stages in the artist's life. The chronological sequence begins at the top left with the birth in 1871 and continues clockwise with his apprenticeship in Gütersloh in 1888, his studies in Paris and Liège in 1893 and 1897 and his sculpting work in Stuttgart in 1903.

47. ↑ In #Hillegaart 2009 it says: “Around 75 years ago, the monumental architectural ensemble with the gymnasium and festival hall, the parish hall in Tobelstrasse and the Albert-Eitel-Houses was expanded to include the spacious square with the teachers' house. "Art in architecture" was always a matter of concern for the art connoisseur and sponsor Heinrich Scheufelen. He had asked the Stuttgart sculptor Professor Josef Zeitler (1871–1958) to design a small sculpture for the corner wall at the teacher's house. ”The gymnasium and festival hall and the parish hall in Tobelstrasse were built in 1925–1926 (not before 75, but before 85 Years).
