Biography[edit]
Schwichtenberg was born on 5 June 1896 in Hanover, Germany.[1] She studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (Düsseldorf Art Academy).[2] Schwichtenberg's artistic career began in Hanover with work as an interior designer and packaging designer. She relocated to Berlin around 1920. There she set up a studio and continued working as a designer. She was a member of Werkbund and the Novembergruppe.[3] She painted some portraits of the German avant-garde living in Berlin.[4] In the mid-1930s she moved to South Africa, where she ran a ceramics workshop. The shop was destroyed by fire and Schwichtenberg returned to Germany in 1939.[5]
