Life


He was the fifth child of sculptor, metal caster and Professor Georg Ferdinand Howaldt and began his artistic studies in his father's workshop. When they were completed, the shop became "Georg Howaldt and Son". He married Helene Brust in 1872 and they had six children.

After 1880, he managed all of the company's commissions and, following his father's death, operated the foundry as well. His own death came eight years later in a tragic manner. While installing his statue Fame on the glass dome of the Dresden Academy, he fell from the scaffolding. His long-term employees joined with sculptor Paul Rinckleben [de], took a lease on the shop, and completed all the works in progress.

By 1903, the shop was having economic difficulties. Hermann's son Ferdinand (who had learned metal casting at the Braunschweig University of Technology) became the manager in an effort to save it but, three years later, had to declare bankruptcy.
