Life
Eduard Kratzmann was the son of the painter Gustav Kratzmann . In 1878 Kratzmann was appointed to Budapest by the Minister of Culture and took over the management of the Royal Hungarian Institute for Glass Painting. His son Ernst , who later became a writer, was born there on December 8, 1889 . Kratzmann worked for many prominent buildings based on designs by contemporary artists.
In 1891 the minister for religion and education handed over the management of the institute to Forgó & Partner and Kratzmann worked in his own workshop in Budapest until 1891. Then he went to Vienna, where he again set up a workshop. The previous successes were denied to him and he spent the last years of his life in poverty.
