Our rooms honor Hanau legends
Conference room 1 | Karoline von Günderrode (1780-1806)
In the nineteenth century, she was already known as the “Sappho of Romanticism” – Karoline von Günderrode, one of the most enigmatic figures of German Romanticism. She was closely related to the city, her grandfather was a government and court councillor in Hanau. She herself lived in Hanau from 1786 before being admitted to the Cronstetten-Hynsperg convent in Frankfurt at the age of 17. Karoline’s work is still overshadowed by her love stories to this day. Torn between love and the desire for freedom, her life reflects the situation of women in the bourgeois elite around 1800. The radicalism with which Karoline von Günderrode tried to live out her feelings already fascinated her contemporaries. At the age of 26, she chose suicide and stabbed herself to death. After her death, several selected volumes of her poetic work, especially her letters, were published. In the 1970s, Karoline became a figure of identification for the women’s movement
Conference room 2 | Moritz Daniel Oppenheim (1800-1882)
Today, Moritz Daniel Oppenheim’s works can be found in all major art collections worldwide. Born in Hanau’s Judengasse (now Nordstraße), he attended the Hanau Electoral Academy of Drawing from 1810. There he was taught drawing and painting by the painter and engraver Conrad Westermayr and his wife Henriette. From 1820, Oppenheim studied at the Städel Art Institute in Frankfurt. He was the first Jewish artist to receive an academic education. An important collection of his works can be seen in the Historical Museum Hanau Schloss Philippsruhe. The monument “Moritz and the Dancing Picture” by sculptors Robert Schad and Pascal Coupot was erected in his honor on Freiheitsplatz in 2015.
Conference room 3 | August Gaul (1869 – 1921)
Born in Großauheim, the sculptor August Gaul is one of the most important artists of modernism. After training at the Hanau Drawing Academy, Gaul moved to Berlin in 1888. He concentrated on the animal motif and created monumental sculptures in stone and bronze, as well as small and miniature formats. His outstanding works for public spaces include the two portal figures “Lying bison” in front of the Kunsthalle Kiel and a versatile architectural sculpture at the Klöpperhaus in Hamburg. The Museum Großauheim is showing a selection of early designs and castings in the newly designed section, including the only early casting of the large “Standing Lioness”, which is regarded as paving the way for modern German sculpture. Further works by August Gaul can be found in the Historical Museum Hanau Schloss Philippsruhe. In Großauheim, the August Gaul monument by Matthias Kohn on Rochusplatz and an August Gaul path with steel figures by Micha Otto commemorate the sculptor.
Conference room 4 | Reinhold Ewald (1890-1974)
The expressionist painter and sculptor was a teacher at the Hanau Drawing Academy from 1921 to 1933 and from 1949 to 1963. Inside the parish church of St. Peter and Paul in Dettingen, which was built in 1922/23, Ewald created an impressive cycle of large-format murals depicting the Passion of Jesus and the life of the Virgin Mary. The construction and painting of the Dettingen church together form an expressionist synthesis of the arts. During the war, Ewald worked in a glassworks in Upper Lusatia. Recruited into the Volkssturm in the last days of the war in 1945, he deserted. After the end of the Second World War, he moved into a studio in the ruined tower in Wilhelmsbad Park. Ewald is considered the most important Hanau painter of the 20th century.
Conference room 5 | Pauli Schmorell (1899 – 2005)
After arriving in Hanau at the age of twelve, Pauli Schmorell, a teacher and educator by vocation, devoted herself to music and youth education with great dedication. After the end of the Second World War, she forged links with choirs and dance groups in France, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland and England. This was based on the realization that international contacts and the mutual understanding that goes with them make a significant contribution to securing peace. In 1946, she founded the “Wilhelmsbader Kreis”, which brightened up the gloomy everyday lives of many people in the town and district through music and dance in the difficult post-war years with public appearances and performances in old people’s homes and hospitals. Through music and singing contributions on Hessian radio and participation in major singing competitions, her work became known nationwide. In 1971, she was awarded the Cross of Merit 1st Class, and on the occasion of her 90th birthday, Pauli Schmorell was honored with the August-Gaul-Plakette, the highest cultural award of the city of Hanau.
