Life

Felicitas von Baczko was the daughter of Hermann von Baczko and Ottilie, b. Hesselbarth, and the sister of the craftsperson Elisabeth von Baczko .

In 1907 Felicitas von Baczko moved from Berlin to Bremen to take part in the arts and crafts classes at the Gewerbemuseum Bremen (predecessor of the Focke Museum ). From 1909 she lived in the Hanseatic city with her sister and the art historian and exhibition organizer Anna Götze in a shared apartment on Obernstraße . Then she was registered at Am Wall 139, an apartment right next to the showrooms of the United Workshops . At times she worked in her own photo studio. She portrayed the painter Franz Radziwill and the art historians Gustav Friedrich Hartlaub and Walter Müller-Wulckow , among others . In December 1931 and January 1932, Walter Müller-Wulckow dedicated a solo exhibition to the photographer's work at the State Museum for Art and Cultural History in Oldenburg and acquired nine of her photos for its collection.

In 1933 Felicitas von Baczko moved back to Berlin with her sister and mother, where she continued to work as a photographer. From October 1936 she probably lived with Anna Götze in Wismar and later in Bad Pyrmont, where Anna Götze died in 1943. From October 1950 to October 1954, von Baczko stayed again in Berlin. She then moved to Traunstein, where she spent the last three years of her life in a Protestant retirement home.
