Stanislaus Cauer

Stanislaus Cauer (18 October 1867 – 8 March 1943) was a German sculptor, medallist and art teacher.

After his father's death in 1893, he was persuaded to take over the studio in Bad Kreuznach, but became involved in family squabbles.

He was in Berlin by 1905 but, frustrated by the constant struggle to obtain commissions, he accepted an appointment to succeed Friedrich Reusch as a Professor and head of the sculpting classes at the Kunstakademie Königsberg.

[1] From 1931, he began making extended stays at the Villa Romana in Florence, where he created portrait busts.

In addition to the Schiller monument, his surviving works in Kaliningrad include a marble sculpture, "After the Bath", and three reliefs: two winged female figures and a Hercules.
