Testimony for Margarete Haeberlin, 1894

Margarete Rudolphi , née Haeberlin (born April 16, 1879 in Potsdam , † November 19, 1954 in Berlin-Dahlem ) was a German painter who later devoted herself primarily to porcelain painting.

Life

Margarete Rudolphi was the daughter of the royal court building officer Franz Haeberlin and his wife Fanny, née Braun. She spent her childhood in Potsdam, where her parents lived in the southern part of the New Garden , in Dutch house no. With special permission from the court marshal's office , the artistically gifted young woman received a traineeship in the royal art collections in 1894 , where she self- taught painting skills by copying paintings . In the first year, 15-year-old Margarete Haeberlin drew the still life with dishes and vegetables in charcoal, and in the following years she drew her first watercolor and oil paintings . The conductor of the art collections in the royal Prussian palaces, Paul Seidel, attested to having copied her painting from the possession of His Majesty the Emperor and King in 1894, proving that he had studied art diligently and thoroughly . This certificate enabled her to study at the Royal Academy of Arts in Berlin in 1897 . During this time, numerous still lifes , flower and landscape paintings were created using various painting techniques, with motifs from the Brandenburg landscape. She marked her work with the signet “M. H.".

In August 1901 Margarete Haeberlin married Johannes Rudolphi , who made a name for himself as a freelance landscape painter of Late Impressionism . After the marriage, she bowed to convention , gave up her easel work , and devoted herself to the family. In 1902 the first son, the future architect Hellmut, was born. Wolfram was born in 1906 and trained as a painter and graphic artist .

After moving into her own house with a studio in Berlin-Schlachtensee , Brunnenstrasse 4, Margarete Rudolphi slowly resumed her artistic work from 1910. She began painting porcelain and had her flower and plant motifs burned at the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin (KPM). Due to the great demand, she devoted herself exclusively to this new task from 1920.

Margarete Rudolphi died in Berlin-Dahlem in 1954 and, next to her parents and her husband, who had died four years earlier, found her final resting place in the cemetery in Potsdam-Bornstedt .
