Karl Elleder

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1920, Karl Elleder designed the emergency money for his adopted home Gars am Kamp and added humorous slogans to the individual notes: “Gold crowns and silver guilders / Like the nickel, have long since disappeared. - That's why we still invented the emergency currency in addition to our debts! "

Karl Elleder (born June 15, 1860 in Korneuburg ; † January 8, 1941 in Gars am Kamp ) was an Austrian caricaturist and illustrator who drew for German and Austrian newspapers and magazines and illustrated calendars, children's and fairy tale books and since 1910 as Writer has published his own fiction texts.

Life

The book "Max Butziwackel" illustrated by Elleder

The full-time customs officer Karl Elleder formed self-taught in Krems and Vienna from; Illustrated among others the “Cadettengeschichten” by Hofrath Oskar Teuber and the “Lachcabinett”, which “ C [arl] M [ichael] Ziehrer presented at the very highest court in Vienna”. As a part-time job, Elleder was in demand for the humorous magazines " Fliegende Blätter ", " Meggendorfer Blätter ", " Die Muskete ", " Mocca " and "Faun". As early as 1911, the “ Österreichische Illustrierte Zeitung ” pointed out Elleder's special position among the “Viennese cartoonists”: “A humorist who almost completely abandons the political satire and decides to accompany the unprejudiced jokes of the family jokes with graceful, cheerful pictures or to serve the children artistically good humorous food in their body sheets is Karl Elleder, a Viennese autodidact whose pleasant little pictures can often be found in the "Fliegende Blätter", in " Figaro " etc. [...] because he is in Abroad is valued more than here, hardly knows in Vienna as a local artist. "

Elleder was friends with the Viennese painter Carl Zewy (1855–1929), who around 1910 worked with Elleder's Gars neighbors, the then art student and later film director Fritz Lang . Elleder had been married to Theresia Grasser since 1905 and was thus the son-in-law of the Austrian arms manufacturer Carl Grasser, who died in 1902 .

Large parts of Elleder's drawing and literary estate were acquired by the graphic artist and illustrator Bernhard Oberdieck , whose website offers a vivid selection of Elleder's graphic work, which contributed significantly to Elleder's rediscovery by the Gars “ Zeitbrücke Museum ”.
