Koenemann was a member of the General German Art Cooperative and the Free Association of Berlin Graphic Artists. The majority of his works were landscape paintings, his preference for birch trees made him known as a “birch painter”. But he also created small-format etchings, for example for Reuter money in Mecklenburg-Strelitz . The landscape painter Elly Beetz was his student in Schwerin . Hermann Koenemann died in Wiesbaden in 1934 at the age of 63.
“Hermann Koenemann is known as a birch painter. His landscapes are delicately perceived in their color effect and testify to a high painting culture. A slight melancholy and silence emanate from them, which calls for longer viewing. "
