In the summer semester of 1929 Wilhelm Rupprecht was appointed by Rudolf Schwarz as a teacher of the textile class at the renowned Aachen School of Applied Arts and worked as a painter, glass painter and designer of liturgical vestments during this time. After the National Socialists' dissolution of the School of Applied Arts in 1934, he devoted himself to glass painting as a freelance artist.
