Walter Haeckel
Walter Ernst Haeckel , also Walter Ernst Huschke-Haeckel (born September 29, 1868 in Jena , † December 4, 1939 there ) was a German painter.
Life
Walter Haeckel was the oldest child and the only son of Ernst Haeckel and his second wife Agnes, nee. Huschke. He had two younger sisters, Elisabeth (* 1871) and Emma (* 1873). Elisabeth married the professor, geographer and explorer Hans Meyer in 1891 , whose grandfather and father were the owners of Lexika-Verlag Leipzig ( Meyers Konversations-Lexikon ).
From 1888/89 he studied at the Grand Ducal Saxon Art School in Weimar . Until 1899 he was in contact with artistic circles, especially in Munich . In 1891 he was with Anton Nissen in the Gothmund artists' colony . This was followed by trips to Italy and a stay in Weimar. With his paintings, especially landscape painting, he did not have any success. His talent was more than a musician and an actor. In 1899 he took lessons again from Bernhard Buttersack in Haimhausen . Economically, he was dependent on support from his parents' family assets, which evaporated in the inflation after the First World War.
In 1901 he married the painting student Josefa, geb. Scholz. The family lived first in Sonthofen , then in Lochham near Munich.
In 1925 Haeckel found a job in the Bibliographical Institute of his relatives. He worked here until 1935. From 1919 he was involved in setting up the museum in the Ernst Haeckel House in Jena.
A part of his correspondence with his father is in the Ernst Haeckel House , the other part is kept in the Murnau Castle Museum .
