Life

Grave of Hilde Rakebrand in the Loschwitz cemetery

Hilde Rakebrand was born in Walkenried in 1901 as the daughter of the farmer August Rakebrand. From 1910 to 1916 she attended the private secondary school in Bad Sachsa and worked in her father's company until 1921. From September 29, 1921 to February 29, 1928 she studied at the Dresden Academy of Applied Arts with Carl Rade in the class for painting and drawing and with Walter Flemming . From 1927 to 1928 she worked as an assistant of Heinrich Goesch .

From 1929 Rakebrand worked as a freelance artist in Dresden. From 1929 to 1930 a solo exhibition on Rakebrand took place in the Galerie Neue Kunst Fides . In 1930, Rakebrand passed the examination as an industrial teacher specializing in ceramic plastics. Until 1933 she received orders for the equipment of public buildings in Pulsnitz and Gottleuba and for the Dresden hygiene exhibition .

In 1933 the last exhibition followed at the art exhibition in Kühl together with Curt Querner . In the same year she was ostracized by the National Socialists as a cultural Bolshevik and was banned from exhibiting. From June 1, 1934 to October 7, 1935, she retrained to become a teacher at a women's college. In 1943 she was employed as a teacher at the municipal women's technical school in Dresden. Almost all of Rakebrand's artistic work was destroyed in the bombing raids on Dresden in February 1945.

From 1946 to 1949 Rakebrand worked initially as an assistant and later as a lecturer for painting, graphics and ceramics at the State University of Applied Arts in Dresden. In addition, she worked on the reconstruction of the picture gallery in Pillnitz . In 1951 and 1952 she was involved in setting up the porcelain gallery and the pewter collection in the Zwinger , and from 1955 to 1958 she was director and then until 1964 director of the porcelain collection and the museum for arts and crafts of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden . In 1958 she directed the repatriation of the Treasures of the Green Vault from Moscow. Rakebrand retired in 1964 and began building up a collection of Art Nouveau glass , which after her death in 1991, according to her legacy, was transferred to the Dresden Museum of Applied Arts as the "Rakebrand Collection".

Rakebrand's grave is in the Loschwitz cemetery .
