Liselotte Schramm-Heckmann
German artist (1904-1995)
Liselotte Schramm-Heckmann (born 1904 in Duisburg, Germany; died 1995 in Erkrath, Germany) was a German painter. She was born in Duisburg as the daughter of an old family of merchants. An ancestor on her father's side was a draughtsman at the court of the Tsar in Moscow. Directly after secondary education she followed painting classes. Although she was influenced by expressionism and abstract art, her admiration for the old masters let her concentrate on realistic art. A long journey in Italy confirmed her opinion. She has painted many landscapes and children's portraits.
Besides painting, she created sceneries for many plays and operas for some stages in western Germany.
After her marriage with the painter Werner Schramm in 1925, she lived at Fiesole near Florence and worked there for a year. The young couple then lived for five years at Bellevue near Paris.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Liselotte Schramm-Heckmann” as german artist (1904-1995). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as german artist (1904-1995). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 25, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q513515. VIAF identifies the subject as 64523989. The Library of Congress control number is n92113995. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1904, 1995 and 1925.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
