Life

Karl Scholl was born in Munich in 1840, where his father Johann Baptist Scholl (the younger) settled down as a sculptor after studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich . In 1842 the family moved to Mainz , where the father took over the workshop of his cousin Joseph Friedrich. For some time Karl attended the Städelsche Kunstinstitut in Frankfurt am Main. In 1860 he joined his father's workshop, who had already moved to Rödelheim near Frankfurt am Main in 1847 . He supported his father on a number of assignments.

His own works include a. a larger than life bust of Ludwig I and Ludwig III. which are now in the Bessunger Orangery. He also made numerous portrait reliefs, including a. a relief of his father, which is in the old cemetery in Darmstadt.

From 1871 to 1877, Karl Scholl also ran a photographic establishment at Elisabethenstrasse 66 in Darmstadt under the name Joh. Bapt. Scholl son. From 1873 he took the photographer H. Hardt into the institution. That is why it was renamed J. B. Scholl & Cie. In 1895 he created the ornamental fields and 24 portrait plaques of famous scientists on the facade of the building for the new main building of the TH Darmstadt .

Karl Scholl died in Darmstadt at the age of 71. His son Hermann (1875–1957) continued the family tradition. After the death of his father, he took over his workshop in Darmstadt and continued it.
