Motive: Hansjakobmuseum in Haslach
“Hansjakob” Museum in Haslach
The only museum in this brochure that is dedicated to a writer and author is the “Freihof” in Haslach. The life and works of this great Black Forest chronicler, the son of a baker from Haslach, Heinrich Hansjakob (1837-1916), are on show here. He was a priest in Hagnau (Lake of Constance), where he founded the first winegrower’s cooperative, and in Freiburg. He was an active member of the local parliament in Karlsruhe for a period of ten years. However, he is most famous as an author and writer: He published more than 70 books and reviews.
Hansjakob was one of the most popular South German authors of his time and to this day is still considered to be an important resource for historians and folklorists. The museum is in the “Freihof”, a house he designed and built and to which he finally retired. It offers an insight into his creative works as an observer of the simple Black Forest farmers, craftsmen, citizens and tradesmen of the 19th century. It also shows his work as a historian, publicist, politician and an author who was very fond of travelling.
The “Freihof” houses three important art exhibitions. Paintings by Louis Blum (1822-1854) as well as works of art by Carl Sandhaas (1801-1859), who was from Haslach, are on show on the first floor. He is considered to be one of the most important South German romanticists. On the top floor there is an extensive Otto Laible exhibition. Otto Laible was also born in Haslach (1898-1962). His works in the 1920’s as well as after 1945 had a certain European touch to them. He was also partly responsible, as a professor, for rebuilding the Art Academy in Karlsruhe at the end of the Second World War.
