Life

Hinderks-Kutscher was born in Munich as the first daughter of the literature professor Artur Kutscher and his first wife Gertrud Schaper, whom he married in 1907.

At a young age she began to write youth stories, which she also illustrated. At the age of 14 she attended the graphic vocational school in Munich and in 1926 she received a scholarship for talented students at the Academy of Fine Arts. From 1928 she studied with Emil Preetorius . In the same year she met her future husband, Meinhard Hinderks, who was also studying in Munich. The daughter Nani emerged from the marriage with Hinderks.

The Hinderks-Kutscher couple lived in Berlin from 1933 to 1943 . Meinhard Hinderks, who had completed his studies as a graduate engineer, worked there as a photographer and journalist. From this time on, Rotraut Hinderks-Kutscher illustrated and wrote many books for children and young people.

Her work on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's childhood and adolescence, Donnerblitzbub Wolfgang Amadeus , saw numerous editions . She also wrote and illustrated other musical biographies.

From 1943 to 1953 the Hinderks-Kutscher family lived in Vöcklamarkt in Upper Austria in the "Schropphaus" (house no. 180). From 1950 to 1952 Rotraut Hinderks-Kutscher worked with Professor Franz Lipp ; the result was the folklore atlas Art and Customs in the Land above the Enns . The Vöcklabruck watercolors were also created in Austria during this period.

In 1953 the family moved back to Germany, where Rotraut Hinderks-Kutscher and her husband designed numerous posters for the Deutsche Bundesbahn from 1960 onwards . Well-known series were, for example, castles and palaces on the railroad and Germany's wildlife by rail . In the 1970s she also designed some of the Deutsche Bundesbahn's advertising brochures and worked with her husband for the International Tourism Exchange, among other things, which brought with it many travel obligations. While Meinhard Hinderks took over the journalistic and photographic research, Rotraut Hinderks-Kutscher worked out the texts and illustration drawings. Meinhard Hinderks died in 1985, Rotraut Hinderks-Kutscher died the following year.

A showcase is dedicated to the artist in the museum in Vöcklamarkt .
