| Notes | After first successes in Paris and Vienna, the Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler, became more and more popular in Germany as well and received significant orders. The "Gesellschaft der Kunstfreunde in Jena und Weimar" ("Society of Friends of Fine Arts in Jena and Weimar") placed an order for an anniversary gift for the Jena University in 1907. A wall painting was required to show the march of Jena students into the "Befreiungskriege" (liberation wars against Napoleon) in 1813. Hodler showed the students in the black uniforms of "Lützowsches Freikorps", the voluntary corps organized and commanded by Baron of Lützow. The painting was installed in Jena University in 1909.
Nach ersten Erfolgen in Paris und Wien wurde der Schweizer Maler Ferdinand Hodler auch in Deutschland bekannt und erhielt zunehmend bedeutende Aufträge. So bestellte auch die Gesellschaft der Kunstfreunde in Jena und Weimar ein Wandbild, das als Jubiläumsgeschenk für die Universität Jena dienen sollte.

Hodler malte die Studenten in der Uniform des Lützowschen Freikorps. das Bild wurde im Jahre 1909 in der Universität Jena angebracht. |
