graphic artist. He started working after World War I

s as well as illustrator
of various books. He also designed banknotes, postage stamps, wooden toy
s and ceramics.
As a child he lived in a mixed binational family very found of music and culture.
His parents, the catholic taylor master Georg Vogenauer ( 1868–1950 ) native from Königstein, Oberpfals in Bayern and Anna Maria Haenni ( 1869–1950 ) herself Protestant daughter of a taylor master and native from Uttigen-Kinnersrüti in Bern, Switzerland, both got married on June 3, 1893 in Munich ( München ) where they lived from 1893 to 1945. They brought up their four living children in the taste of work and studies.
Ernst like a very imaginative and a little bit rebel child, both gifted to play music ( alto and violin ) and drawing, early fancied to be independent and to become a graphic student and artist.
Ernst Rudolf had got, an eldest sister and two brothers : Babette Vogenauer (1893–1950) spouse Bachem emigrated in France in 1911, Andreas Vogenauer German scientist teacher ( 1894–1952 ) close to him, and Gottfried Vogenauer ( 1902–1984 ) German economist teacher, author in 1955 of a private chronicle about the whole Vogenauer-Haenni Family and its German and French descendants.
Then in 1921 he left Munich for a job in the National Printing Office in Berlin where he worked until World War II.
In 1925 he got married with Minna who a few years later gave him a son.
Perhaps it was also at that time of the twenties that he illustrated a publishing of the bavarian novel " Der Wittiber " ( The Widower ) by the German writer Ludwig Thoma ( 1867–1921 ). Anyway he was very gifted in various artistic crafts .
About art, in spite of his true respect of the Old Painting Masters, he was very open minded and overall attracted by Futurism, Cubism and Expressionism. To be free with regard to his employer and official work for the National Printing Office of Berlin, and to avoid some troubles, he often preferred to mark some of his private artistic works under the special signature " Saturn ".
His artist friends were mainly a one called Binder, Peter Kraemer ( 1896–1972 ) son of an American bavarian painter also named Peter Kraemer, and Carl Johann Rabus ( 1898–1983) German expressionist painter. Moreover, Carl Rabus made ( ca 1927 or 1937 ? ) a beautiful self portrait with him, entitled : " Zwei Freunde, Selbst mit Ernst Vogenauer " ( " Two friends, I with Ernst Vogenauer "). To day this oil painting seems to be in the private Gerhard Schneider's Collection.
It was only after World War II that Ernst Vogenauer became an Art school teacher in the High Art School of Berlin-Weissensee, in DDR.
