Biography
He was the sixth child of First Lieutenant and manorial owner Alexander Weichberger and his wife, Amalie. In 1848, the family moved from Krauthausen to Eisenach.
In 1876, he married Elise Choinanus, from a family of musicians, who was twelve years his junior. They had four children, including the writer, Konrad Weichberger [de]. From 1877 to 1906, he worked as a free-lance artist, creating paintings and folia of etchings. He also gave occasional drawing lessons. After 1899, he served as a Professor at the Art School in Weimar. He created his initial sketches with brush and paint, focusing on motifs from the Thuringian Forest, Rügen and the Tirol. Many of his sketchbooks and drawings are at the Klassik Stiftung Weimar.
He died of a heart attack in 1913, at the age of seventy.
