Life

Little is known about Ludwig Taeger's biography.

He enrolled on July 6, 1832 in Munich at the Academy of Fine Arts there for the subject of sculpture.

After leading up to the industrialization of the Kingdom of Hanover in the residence of the Hanover trade association for the Kingdom of Hanover had formed Täger was as "sculptor and gilder" for the gold similarly refined by him pictures and wallpaper strips on the second trade exhibition in the Kingdom of Hannover detailed with a Discussion of his work has been recognized in the communications of the trade association, and an "honorable mention was given."

Around the beginning of the 1840s, Täger became the father of the later sculptor Eduard Täger .

In 1844, the sculptor Täger - like the court watchmaker of the same name - was recognized as an expert in assessing awards for the participants in the 1844 trade fair .

According to a comment by the editors of the Hanoverian Police Gazette on March 7, 1849, the trainee lawyer Hugo von Hochstetter , who came from Berlin and was wanted by the Prussian police in Potsdam, was in Hanover under the name of the businessman Schäfer and there came into possession of the passport of the Sculptor Täger. With Täger's ID, the 24-year-old is said to have fled to Belgium together with the 19-year-old daughter of a glazier, before he was later only extradited back to the French border in Prussia on the instructions of the authorities in Brussels.

The statue of Calderon at the Hanoverian court theater , created by Taeger in the early 1850s, is intended to reveal “considerable artistic and technical limits”.

In the catalog of the trade exhibition of 1859, Täger was listed as an exhibitor in the category “Sculpture and wood gilding” and had

"... 33 different life-size animal heads made of stone cardboard, used for wall decorations , displayed in natural colors."

After the "Canzlist" Christ. Jacob Friedr. Täger and the court watchmaker Philipp August Wilhelm Täger had joined the Johannis Freemasons' Lodge on the Black Bear in the Orient from Hanover, Ludolf Täger was also accepted into the lodge named after the Black Bear on March 3, 1857 .

In the second half of 1863, three figures carved in wood by Tilman Riemenschneider were exhibited at Täger in Hanover , which Professor Oesterley had identified as the work of the famous carver.
