The Life and Career of Joseph Kiener

Born in Schwarzenfeld, Germany, he received his teacher training at the teacher seminary in Eichstätt after attending the preparatory school in Regensburg. His professional journey began as an assistant teacher in Pemfling and Waldmünchen. Following his training, he attended the art and crafts school and the Polytechnic in Munich, where he received support from the writer Emmy Giehrl.

In addition to his work with children's literature, Kiener was a prolific illustrator of drawings depicting historical monuments and archaeological finds for various books and magazines.

His notable works include an altarpiece of St. Andrew for the parish church in Adelschlag and a pastel self-portrait.
