Walter Kröhnke

From 1922 to 1926, he studied at the Berlin State School of Fine Arts; initially with Ferdinand Spiegel [de], then with Karl Hofer.

After graduating, he made a study visit to Sanary-sur-Mer, followed by five years in Paris, Italy, and Spain.

In 1936, he had a brief solo exhibition at the Galerie Feldhäusser und Fritze in Berlin, but the gallery was closed soon after.

Some of those works were exhibited in 1949, at the Frankfurter Kunstkabinett, founded by Hanna Bekker vom Rath to honor artists who had been persecuted by the Nazis.

The following year, a joint exhibition of his works and those of his wife, Louise, was held at the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf.
