Leonhard Schaufelberger went to ETH Zurich to study architecture . Here he joined the Corps Rhenania .

Head of the Imperial Workshops and the Porcelain Manufactory and as a technician VI. Class in the rank of court councilor . The art-loving Tsar Alexander III, who restored pictures himself, worked with Schaufelberger. From 1883 the manufactory produced under the leadership of Schaufelberger and Alexander III. personally a ceremonial service for 50 people for the Alexander Palace in Tsarskoye Selo . The service is painted with ornaments and allegories based on motifs from the Raphael Loggia of the Winter Palace , which in turn was copied at the request of Catherine II for the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg using the Raphael rooms in the Vatican as a model . The finished parts were given to the tsar every Christmas. In 1903 the service was complete. Schaufelberger was married to Maria Emilie Swentizki, an illegitimate daughter of Alexander II , and had three sons, Arnold-Sergius , Leonhard-Alfred and Walter, and a daughter, Olga. He was awarded the Order of St. Anna Level 2 and 3, and the Order of St. Stanislaw Level 2 and 3, which was the highest honor a foreigner could receive in Russia.
