Timeline

1910

Klaus Wittkugel (17 October 1910 – 19 September 1985) was one of the most important commercial and poster artists in the German Democratic Republic (1949–1989).

For many years he was also a professor at the Berlin-Weißensee Arts Academy.

Wittkugel was born in Kiel in the extreme north of the country.

His father was a businessman.

Klaus Wittkugel himself undertook a commercial training in Hamburg between 1927 and 1929, while also attending the Hamburg State Arts Academy, and then studied in Essen at the Folkwang University of the Arts till 1932.

Here he was a master-scholar of Max Burchartz.

1932

He then relocated to Berlin where between 1932 and 1935 he was employed as a commercial artist by a retail chain.

1935

From 1935 till 1937 he headed up a studio with a Berlin advertising agency, after which he worked in Berlin as a freelance commercial artist until war intervened.

1939

He was conscripted for military service in 1939 and spent the war first as a soldier and then as a prisoner of war.

1945

War ended in May 1945, leaving what remained of Germany divided into zones of military occupation.

In the meantime, between 1945 and 1949 he was employed as a graphic artist in the German (effectively East German) Central Commerce and Supply Department.

1946

In 1946 Klaus Wittkugel joined the newly formed Socialist Unity Party of Germany (Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands / SED) which in 1949 became the ruling party in the new Soviet sponsored East German state.

1961
