Wilhelm Höffert
German, 1832-1901
MaleHöffert immigrated to the US in 1892. The ship Dubbledam landed in New York, but Höffert continued on to Chicago. He took a second American-born wife (his first was still in Germany) and child with him to the US.The studio Höffert was based in Dresden but there were many subsidiary studios elsewhere, including Berlin, many of which existed in competition with each other. While Höffert was in the US the Dresden studio was run by his German wife Mila Höffert and their son Ludwig. Höffert must have returned to Germany at somepoint. He died in Wiesbaden in 1901.
