Joseph Benedikt Engl (* 2. Juli 1867 in Schallmoos bei Salzburg; \u2020 25. August 1907 in M\u00fcnchen) war ein deutscher Kunstgewerbler, Karikaturist und Illustrator, der insbesondere in M\u00fcnchen t\u00e4tig war.<\/p>\n
Engl, Sohn eines Lokomotiv-Heizers der K\u00f6niglich Bayerischen Staatseisenbahnen und einer Mutter aus dem \u00f6sterreichischen Innviertel, wuchs in M\u00fcnchen auf, wo er sein ganzes Leben verbrachte. Nach einer zweij\u00e4hrigen Ausbildung zum Lithografen besuchte er ab 1885 die K\u00f6nigliche Kunstgewerbeschule M\u00fcnchen. Um seinen Lebensunterhalt zu verdienen, arbeitete er als Entwerfer und Hersteller von Reiseandenken, als Zeichner von Stadtansichten und f\u00fcr Reklame. Ab 1888 war er Mitarbeiter bei volkst\u00fcmlichen Witzbl\u00e4ttern, wie der Zeitschrift Automobil- und Radfahrer-Humor<\/em>. Seine erste Zeichnung f\u00fcr die ber\u00fchmte Zeitschrift Fliegende Bl\u00e4tter<\/em> des M\u00fcnchner Verlags Braun & Schneider erschien 1894.<\/p>\n Ab 1896 arbeitete Engl f\u00fcr das Satireblatt Simplicissimus<\/em>, das im selben Jahr von Albert Langen gegr\u00fcndet wurde. Zu den Kollegen, mit denen er dort zusammenarbeitete, geh\u00f6rten namhafte K\u00fcnstler wie Thomas Theodor Heine, Ferdinand von Rezni\u010dek, Rudolf Wilke und sp\u00e4ter auch Olaf Gulbransson. Als einziger \u201eUr-M\u00fcnchner\u201c unter den Stammzeichnern des Simplicissimus<\/em> war Engl von der ersten Ausgabe an bis zu seinem fr\u00fchen Tod st\u00e4ndiger Mitarbeiter der illustrierten Wochenschrift. W\u00e4hrend dieser Zeit schuf er unz\u00e4hlige Karikaturen und Textillustrationen und entwarf unter anderem das Logo der Kessler Sekt GmbH & Co. KG.<\/p>\n Um 1890 heiratete Engl Margarete Fritzmann, mit der er einen Sohn namens Josef hatte, der 1893 in M\u00fcnchen geboren wurde und sp\u00e4ter als Pionier des Tonfilms bekannt wurde. Durch die Folgen eines Unfalls w\u00e4hrend seiner Milit\u00e4rzeit schwer behindert, wurde Engl vorzeitig entlassen und verstarb kurz darauf im Alter von nur 40 Jahren.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Josef B.
