Life

Wünschmann probably received his training from 1888 to 1890 at the Technical State Schools in Chemnitz . He was based in Leipzig from around 1891, where he moved into his own apartment at Nonnenstrasse 24 in 1893. After a few years as an employee in a larger architecture firm, he started his own business around 1895. The majority of his work was created before the First World War , and since the 1920s he has turned to the New Objectivity .

Wünschmann was married to the opera singer Theodora Franziska Serafine von Toula (born September 2, 1871 in Vienna), Theodor was born in 1901 and Werner in 1905. Through his wife, personal relationships arose with Austria, which also led to various construction projects in Carinthia .

In 1930, under the impact of the global economic crisis , Wünschmann retired from active professional life and left the Leipzig office to his son Werner Wünschmann. Georg Wünschmann was a member of the Leipzig scholars and artists' association The Leonids .
