Life

Oda Hardt was the daughter of a manor owner in East Prussia and received lessons at a private painting school in Berlin as early as 1896. From 1902 to 1906 she studied at the Königsberg Art Academy with Ludwig Dettmann , where she met her future husband Waldemar Rösler as early as 1902 . The two married in 1906 and moved to Groß-Lichterfelde near Berlin, where she gave birth to twins Louise and Fritz (who died in Italy in 1943) in 1907 . Waldemar Rösler committed suicide on December 14, 1916.

Oda Hardt-Rösler was busy raising her two children until 1925 and did not practice any artistic activity during these years. Then she lived in Weimar from 1925–28 , where she received inspiration from the Bauhaus . From 1929 she lived in Berlin again. In the 1930s she adopted the pseudonym "Xeiner".

Numerous youth works were destroyed in the chaos of war at Gut Schildeck in 1944. After the war, together with Ottilie Reylaender , she founded the private painting school Das Atelier im Freien and exhibited with the Esslingen artists' guild. She painted until she was 82 years old, then died on October 17, 1965 after a long illness in Berlin.
