Life

Wolter was born in Bonn in 1917. After completing his commercial apprenticeship, in 1937 he headed the expedition department of an emery and cleaning agent factory and a little later the advertising department of a carpet shipping company. Wolter sold his first drawings during the Second World War. After the end of the war he was a member of the International Artist's Lodge, then a cabaret artist and editor-in-chief of a satirical newspaper. From 1948 onwards, Wolter said he drew political caricatures “with industrial diligence”. Wolter drew for around 40 newspapers and magazines, including the "Spiegel", the "Stuttgarter Zeitung" and the "Deutsche Allgemeine Sonntagsblatt". With up to 2000 caricatures a year, he was at times the most printed caricaturist in Germany. In 1993 Wolter died in Lohmar near Bonn. An important part of his extensive estate is in the House of History Foundation of the Federal Republic of Germany.
