Life

Irmgard Hauser-Köchert studied art history and archeology at the University of Vienna with Karl Maria Swoboda from 1946 to 1951 . She graduated with honors and received her doctorate in 1951 with a dissertation on Peter Nobile .

After her marriage to Maximilian von Hauser in 1952, she gave birth to four daughters (* 1953, 1956, 1960 and 1962). During this phase of founding a family, in 1963 she became involved in setting up the first Rudolf Steiner School in Vienna. Furthermore, she supported and helped children in the blind school in Vienna from 1974 to 1976 and was a long-time member of the Johanniter hospital service.

Since the discovery of old jewelry drawings and customer books by the Viennese court jeweler AE Köchert , she has dealt intensively with the founding and development history of this company and the general development of the Austrian arts and crafts from the baroque to the 19th century. She wrote articles about the company AE Köchert for exhibitions in Halbturn, in the Hermesvilla and in the gold and silversmith museum in Vienna as well as in numerous exhibition catalogs.

From 1995 she dealt with the biography of Joseph Mayseder (1789–1863), one of the best Viennese violinists at the time of the Vienna Congress (1815–1835) and father-in-law of the jeweler Alexander Köchert.

She was the initiator of the caricature exhibition "Der Wilhelm Busch von Aussee" with caricatures by the kk smelter Gustav August Ritter from around 1870 in the Kammerhofmuseum Bad Aussee 2005.
