Carl Hubert Wyland (22 May 1886 – 24 May 1972) was a German blacksmith. == Early life and career == Hailing from a traditional Cologne locksmith family Wyland led since the 1920s by large orders in Germany and Europe.〔(Carl Wyland in: ''American Architect and Architecture'', Band 138, The American architect, 1930, Seite 62 )〕 From the 1950s he was also operating in the USA. In 1835 Carl Wyland's grandfather, Johann Wyland (1811-1884), founded a metalworking art shop. At the age of 17, Carl Hubert Wyland decided to continue the family tradition and began a three-year apprenticeship in his father's business. His brother Heinrich instead decided to enter the field of electrical engineering. After his apprenticeship he attended the School of Applied Arts (1906-1909) and the Graduate School in Cologne. There Wyland was trained in forging technology, structural engineering, building construction and technical design. 1911/1912 he completed his training in the technical office of the Maschinenfabrik Wanzelius & Schlüsselburg in Metz. The entrance to the father's workshop was in 1913 after he had completed an internship in France. In 1922 Wyland took over the workshop from his father Carl Gustav Wyland (1848-1922) and set it from metalworking art to locksmith art and pure art. He then focused on architectural blacksmithing. His wife Mary, born Frings – whom he married in 1921 – was a sister of the Cologne architect Ernst Wilhelm Scheidt (1889-1961). Their only son died in Russia in the World War II on 9 November 1943. Carl Wyland worked together with many well-known architects such as Werner March or Rudolf Schwarz. Wyland received numerous national and international awards for his work. He also worked on drafts of his friend the Austrian sculptor Wolfgang Wallner (Kölner Werkschulen). Wyland continued to work after his retirement. Many apprentices have been working with him studying his philosophy and skills. One of the last students, trained in Cologne in the Wyland ironwork shortly before his death in 1972 was the Neuwied blacksmith and metal sculptor Klaus Rudolf Werhand.〔(Kunstschmiedehandwerk des Schülers Klaus Rudolf Werhand ) (PDF; 138 kB)〕 The estate of Carl Wyland is located in the Museum für Angewandte Kunst (Cologne) in Cologne. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carl Wyland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
