Life

After finishing elementary school, Paul Wicke attended the Bautzen industrial and trade school from 1907 to 1910, parallel to his apprenticeship in lithography in the Weigang brothers' lithographic institute and lithographic printing shop. He worked as a lithographer in Höxter and Hanover from 1912 to 1913 before returning to Bautzen in 1914. When he was withdrawn from the military, he began to study art in 1915 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden under Richard Müller , Georg Lührig and Otto Gußmann . This course, which lasted until 1922, was sponsored by his former employer Rudolf Weigang. After completing his studies, he took part in exhibitions of the Free Artists 'Association in Bautzen, the Szczecin Museum Association and the Lausitz Artists' Association .

In 1926 he married the porcelain painter Anna Margarethe (Marga) von Jaehnichen (1891–1980), with whom he moved to Lausa near Dresden in 1929 . In 1932 he took part in the 53rd art show of the Saxon Art Exhibition Association in Bautzen.

After the war he documented the destroyed Dresden in an artistic way (50 sheet Dresden 1945 cycle ). From autumn 1945 he received orders for the Anhaltische Kohlenwerke AG in Welzow to design the new staff home in Zeißholz . He later took on artistic commissions from the Weixdorf community, for example for the design of the newly built Weixdorf primary school. In 1948 he was accepted into the visual arts section of the Free German Trade Union Federation .
