Wilhelm Hauschild

[1][2] Wilhelm Hauschild, whose father was a master weaver, completed an apprenticeship with the decorative painter Krachwitz in Frankenstein.

After he had given him the necessary knowledge to attend the Royal Academy of Art, Hauschild enrolled on April 10, 1850 for painting[3] and became a student of Philipp Foltz.

At Neuschwanstein Castle he was given the picturesque design of the throne room and the series of pictures from Lohengrin, Sigurd, and the Gudrunsage.

[4] He was also involved in the design of the wall and ceiling paintings for the royal building of the Munich Residence.

He created the paintings Immaculate Conception and St. Petersburg for the side altars of the Lauban parish church, which was being decorated at the same time by his friend, the Munich architect Johann Marggraff.
