On June 8, 1927, he married the dancer Almut Upmeyer, with whom he had two children: Helga (1939–1967) and Axel Winckelmann (1942–1965). In 1943 he married his last wife, Hilde, after an affair that had lasted 17 years. During the air raids on Hanover, he sent his heavily pregnant wife to Salzburg , where their daughter Maria was born. He himself stayed in Hanover and died of heart failure during the British bombing.
