Rudolf Höckner

Rudolf Höckner (28 July 1864, Wolkenstein - 22 April 1942, Bad Mergentheim) was a German Impressionist landscape and cityscape painter.

He graduated in 1890, with a scholarship that enabled him to take study trips to Southern Germany and Italy.

In 1895, financial difficulties forced him to move to Flensburg where he supplemented his artistic income by working as a sailing correspondent for the Nord-Ostsee-Zeitung.

Two years later, he gave that up to make another attempt at being a free-lance artist; holding exhibits in Hamburg and Altona.

After his wife's death, he moved to Southern Germany and died in the spa town of Bad Mergentheim.
