Life

Hans Heller was born in Magdeburg as the son of a self-employed upholsterer. In 1896 he passed the school leaving examination. From October 1896 to Easter 1901 he studied at the Magdeburg School of Applied Arts , after which he initially worked in his father's wallpapering workshop. He successfully applied to work in the studio of Joseph Maria Olbrich in Darmstadt , where he was able to start on September 1, 1901.

In 1907 he was appointed to teach at the Hamburg School of Applied Arts . In addition to his teaching activities, he also worked as a freelance interior designer until he was drafted as a soldier in the First World War. On September 11, 1917, he fell on the Balkan Front in Prilep , Macedonia .

One month after his death, on October 10, 1917, a memorial service was held at the Hamburg School of Applied Arts, at which the art historian Wilhelm Niemeyer gave a funeral speech for Heller. The speech was printed in an edition of 200 copies on behalf of Otto Blohm, Walter Hane, Rudolf Lazarus, Carl Wilhelm Leisewitz and Paul Robinow - for whom Hans Heller created interiors. The book design for the brochure came from Heller's friend and colleague Carl Otto Czeschka , in whose antiqua font the text was set.

Hans Heller was born with the weaver Martha. Ohmert (1887–1951) married. The widowed Martha Heller married Carl Otto Czeschka in the 1920s.
