Richard Guhr contributed to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition 1904 and to the interior of the 1907 opened Hotel Adlon in Berlin.

It was originally planned for the Großer Garten, but finally found its place in the valley of the river Wesenitz near Graupa.

[3] In 1934, immediately after the dismissal of his former student and friend Otto Dix, Guhr was appointed professor at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts.

Many of his works, especially to Richard Wagner, were destroyed in the bombing of Dresden in World War II.
