Life
After attending the Friedrichs-Gymnasium , he studied at the Berlin Art Academy in 1869 and was then a master student of Carl Steffeck . Initially devoted to portrait painting, he then switched entirely to landscape painting. He spent five years in the country, sometimes in the Ragöser Mühle near Eberswalde , and sometimes in Ilsenburg in the Harz Mountains. Returning to Berlin in the early 1980s, he finished his studies with the landscape painter Carl Ludwig and worked here as a member of the General German Art Cooperative . From 1884 he was regularly represented at exhibitions, especially in Berlin and Munich, where he particularly showed atmospheric heather and forest landscapes. He was married to Hedwig von Hagen, the daughter of a police council.
He found his final resting place after being reburied in the south-west cemetery in Stahnsdorf .
