Walter Schnackenberg (2 May 1880, Lauterberg - 10 January 1961, Degerndorf im Landkreis Rosenheim) was a German painter and illustrator.
He went to Munich aged 19 to study under Heinrich Knirr and then Franz von Stuck, where he gained a reputation for drawings and caricatures.
He traveled to Paris several times, where he met Picasso in 1908-1909 in Montparnasse and was inspired by the works of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
In 1907, Thieme and MüRück participated in the founding of the Europäischen Güter- und Reisegepäck-Versicherungs-AG in Budapest.
He also designed stage sets, theatre costumes and posters, including a signed one around 1920 for his father-in-law's Europäische Güter- und Reisegepäck-Versicherungs-AG travel insurance firm[1] and examples for Munich's Deutsches Theater.
