Life

Hanni Schwarz's life data are unknown. Before she turned to photography , she was a teacher at her father's school in Basel . Around 1904 she and Anna Walter took over Johannes Hülsen's photo studio in Berlin. Around 1909 she ran her photo studio together with Marie Luise Schmidt. On May 27, 1919, it was registered as Hanni Schwarz's Atelier in Dorotheenstrasse and specialized in portrait and dance photography.

Since it was founded in 1903, the magazine Die Schönheit published pictures of her. The Ross publishing house in Berlin , which was leading in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s for postcards of well-known film actors and film scenes, published numerous portraits she took. A portrait that Hanni Schwarz had made of the artist Fidus appeared in a book published by Adalbert Luntowski in 1910. In the magazine »Sport im Bild« No. 5 of March 5, 1926, a photograph of her was printed with the caption: »Mrs. Chicky Sparkuhl-Fichelscher, our popular fashion illustrator, in her self-designed carnival costume made of green silk and silver sequins. Ball of the German Theater. «.

In April 1908, a so-called beauty evening took place in the “Mozart Hall” of the New Playhouse in Berlin , on which nude photographs by Hanni Schwarz and Wilhelm von Gloeden , projected onto a screen, were presented. At that time, Hanni Schwarz had already made a name for herself as an artistic photographer . In 1910 she took part in the world exhibition in Brussels with nudes . Color photographs of her were shown at Bugra 1914.

It is said that a portrait photo of her contemporaries Theodor Heuss and his wife, planned in 1912, failed because Schwarz forgot to change the photo plate and a double exposure with Dr. Milk came.

The most recent recordings that can be assigned to her date back to 1930, after which she no longer appears. In 2000, works by Hanni Schwarz were shown in the exhibition Le siècle du corps. Photographies 1900–2000 shown in the Musée de l'Elysée in Lausanne.
