Life
Karl Staudinger began his professional and artistic career initially with practical training as a paper technician and lithographer . In 1892 he went to Munich and attended Heinrich Knirr's private painting school , whose best-known students were Paul Klee , Emil Orlik and Fabius von Gugel . From 1895 to 1904 he studied with Franz von Stuck at the Munich Art Academy .
His work caught the attention of the Duke of Saxony-Meiningen , Georg II , who made him director of the Sonneberg Industrial School in 1912 as the successor to Reinhard Möller . Until the beginning of the war in 1914, he taught drawing, painting and anatomy. After his military service from 1914 to 1918, he returned to Sonneberg and, until 1929, had a formative influence on the artistic and educationally oriented toy design with his designs. As a technical school teacher, he supported the Association of Resolute School Reformers . Due to the economic collapse of the toy and ceramics industry, Karl Staudinger had to stop working in Sonneberg in 1929.
At that time Staudinger was a member of the Reich Association of Fine Artists in Germany , the German Association of Artists “Die Juryfrei” and the German Werkbund .
From 1929 to 1933 he went to Colombia and took over the management of the Escuela de Artes y Oficios (≈ School of Applied Arts) in San José de Cúcuta .
In 1933 he returned to Sonneberg and was appointed professor. After the global economic crisis subsided , the Sonneberg toy and ceramics industry seemed to be recovering, and he took over the management of the Sonneberg industrial school again . In the building of industrial school was also the German Toy Museum , the Karl Staudinger temporarily in personal union headed. Against his resolute protest, the school had to vacate the building for the toy museum that had been built for them in 1937. Out of disappointment and because of the increasing pressure from the NSDAP on school operations, Karl Staudinger resigned from the director's office in 1937 and worked as a freelance book illustrator and artist from 1937 to 1962. Staudinger's successor at the Sonneberg Industrial School was Otto Keil , who maintained the school's artistic and art-pedagogical orientation and was on friendly terms with Staudinger. He remained loyal to the industrial school Sonneberg , for whose development into a technical school for applied arts (1951-1960) he was decisive, and the artists who emerged from it, such as Werner Stötzer , Gerhard Rommel or Franz Kürschner , as a mentor until his death.
The city of Sonneberg honored him by naming Karl-Staudinger-Straße .
