Rudolf Hamburger studied architecture with Hans Poelzig at the Technical University of Berlin-Charlottenburg .

This made him an important pioneer for the development of modern architecture in China.
In 1933 he helped Richard Paulick (1903–1979) flee to Shanghai. Together with his wife and their son Michael , who had now been born , he returned to Europe in 1937, lived for a time in Poland and Switzerland and then went to Iran for the Soviet Union's military intelligence service until 1943 .
In 1943 he was convicted in Moscow on a bogus charge and deported to a labor camp, from which he was only released in 1952. Until 1955 he lived in exile in the Ukraine . With the help of Paulick he was able to travel to the GDR . At times he was then deputy head of the development of Hoyerswerda . In 1990 Rudolf Hamburger was posthumously rehabilitated in Moscow .
