Wilhelm Hasemann

Wilhelm Hasemann (16 September 1850, Mühlberg – 28 November 1913, Gutach) was a German genre painter and illustrator.

Hasemann was the only son of a mechanic and left school at the age of fifteen to work in his father's shop.

In 1880, he visited the village of Gutach for the first time as part of an assignment to illustrate the novella "Lorle, die Frau Professorin" by Berthold Auerbach.

Hasemenn's paintings focused on rural life, customs and traditional dress, and his works were widely reproduced as postcards and magazine illustrations.

[2] The primary and secondary schools in Gutach are named after him, as well as the art museum and the game preserve between Hausach and Schonach.
