Curt Liebich

Curt Liebich (17 November 1868, Wesel - 12 December 1937, Gutach) was a German painter, graphic artist and sculptor.

In 1896, he married Hasemann's sister-in-law, Antonie Lichtenberg, and settled in Gutach; painting scenes of rural and village life.

He also created postcard motifs that made the bollenhut (a formal headdress) and the Black Forest house familiar throughout the world.

As an illustrator, he designed title pages for books and magazines as well as advertising graphics.

[1] In 1933, he designed the Gutacher honorary citizenship certificates for Robert Heinrich Wagner and Adolf Hitler.
