Life
He was born in Darmstadt, the youngest son of Gustav Schenk zu Schweinsberg (1842–1922), state archive director and state historian. He studied art history, archaeology and history in Darmstadt, Munich, Frankfurt, Berlin and Jena and in 1921 graduated from the University of Jena. In the meantime, in 1919, he had already become a museum assistant in Weimar, rising to Custodian or "Kustos" in 1923. He was director of the Städtische Galerie in Wiesbaden from 1929 to 1934, as well as teaching at the Nassauischen Kunstverein. His next post was as director of the Ducal Museum Gotha from 1934 to 1946. In 1948 he returned to Wiesbaden, where he then published several works, particularly on glass art and castles, and died in 1990.
