August  von  Heyden

Breslau 1827 – Berlin 1897

Coming from mining Heyden devoted himself to the arts since the end of the 50s
and made himself a name as i. a. history painter, but

“ His occupation with costume knowledge and the history of traditional costumes gave rise to entrust him, after the retirement of Hermann Weiß (in Berlin), with the lectures in the mentioned subjects first temporarily, then … (1885) finally. 1889 he received the professorship ”

(Boetticher).
