Käthe Buchler (1876–1930) was a German photographer.
Buchler née von Rhamm was born on 11 October 1876 in Braunschweig, Germany.[2] A self-taught photographer, her husband gave Buchler her first camera (a binocular Voigtländer)[1] in 1901.[3] During World War I Buchler recorded daily life in Braunschweig including war efforts, orphaned children, and wounded soldiers.[4] Buchler worked mainly with black and white film but also experimented with the new Autochrome process.[5]
Buchler died on 14 September 1930 in Brunswick.[2] In 2003 the archive of 1,000 black and white prints and 175 color autochrome plates was donated to the Museum für Photographie (Braunschweig) (Museum of Photography Braunschweig).[3] In 2017 and 2018 an exhibition of Buchler's work Beyond the Battlefields:Käthe Buchler’s Photographs of Germany in the Great War was shown at the University of Hertfordshire and the University of Birmingham.[6]
