Karl Bauer

He was back in Munich in the autumn of 1895, when George acquainted him with the young poet Karl Gustav Vollmoeller, for whom he created illustrations.

After 1896, he settled in Munich, where he worked as illustrator including a notable edition of Heinrich Heine's Buch der Lieder.

He created portraits in the Northern Renaissance style depicting Martin Luther for churches in Görlitz, Oppenweiler and Helsinki.

In World War I he published a book of portrait illustrations entitled Führer und Helden (Leaders and Heroes), depicting military celebrities.

A collection of his drawings illustrated deceased Nazi heroes such as Dietrich Eckart, Albert Leo Schlageter and Horst Wessel.
