Julie Bauer

Julie Bauer , née Stähle (born June 22, 1879 in Spindelbach, Württemberg, today Schrozberg , † October 30, 1968 in Karlsruhe ) was a German photographer .

Live and act

Julie Bauer married the photographer Wilhelm Bauer in 1900, with whom she worked in the family business of her father-in-law Carl Bauer. There she learned the photographic trade . In 1906 she was one of two women out of 50 course participants who took the exam to become a master photographer in the course at the teaching and research institute for photography in Munich . At this point she was expecting her third child. She founded her own studio at Moltkestrasse 83, which was used for portrait photography . She was probably the first master photographer in Baden.

After the death of his father in 1904, Wilhelm Bauer ran his business, but then parted with it and also moved to Moltkestrasse. Business was going well, the couple shared the tasks: Wilhelm took on the external assignments, Julie portrayed children, wedding couples, officers, actors and the grand ducal family in the studio.

The son Erich Bauer (later a well-known photographer in Karlsruhe) and the youngest daughter Leny learned their parents' profession. Wilhelm Bauer died in 1947 and Julie continued the business. She only retired in 1965 at the age of 86, and her daughter-in-law Luise Maria Bauer continued to run it with employed photographers. The photographer Sigrid Sieber has been active there since 1996.

At the “Photo 59” exhibition in Frankfurt am Main in 1959, she received a medal for two of her portraits from the “Centralverband des Deutschen Photographenhandwerk”.
