Wilhelm August Friedrich Tramp (born July 23, 1881 in Bannenbrück , Mecklenburg-Strelitz , † April 9, 1940 in Düsseldorf ) was a German figure and landscape painter from the Düsseldorf School .

Life

Tramp came from the Bannenbrück forester, a settlement with 13 inhabitants between Stargard Castle and Pragsdorf . At the age of 13, he lost his parents in an accident within a month. Then he came with his sister Anna and his brothers Walter and Fritz into the care of a guardian. As soon as it was possible for him, he left his home country and went to Düsseldorf to become a painter. In 1918 he received a scholarship from the Düsseldorf Art Academy to study figure and landscape painting under Eugen Dücker . From 1924 to 1928 he was a member of the Malkasten artists' association .

Tramp was married to Franziska Karolina Luisa Groebler. He lived and worked in Düsseldorf. As a landscape painter, he made several trips to study within Germany and the Netherlands. He died in 1940 of a heart attack and left behind a son named Ulrich Hermann Tramp (1917–1977), who later also studied set design at the Düsseldorf Academy.
