In the “KO-Buch” itself the respective remuneration is often numerically set apart (e.g., 
no. 5635 “Honorar 500,000" - the amount 250,000 is crossed out) or listed as a portion 
of the value (e.g., no. 5637 “Honorar 1/6 of 1,800,000” -). Some of these artists’names 
already known to us are to be found in the - incomplete - personnel data in the archives 
of the Wiener Werkstätte. Many of the most significant women artists are listed in the 
“Entwurf” section (design). 
The economic ups and downs of the Wiener Werkstätte did not fail of course to have an 
effect on the lives of the ceramic artists; the financial crisis in the Wiener Werkstätte in 
1925 brought things down to such an extent (in June of that year Primavesi had 
withdrawn from the Wiener Werkstätte; on Feb. 14,1926 legal settlement proceedings 
with creditors were opened), that many a working relationship had to be terminated. 
Susi Singer-Schinnerl (“Entwurf”) had left on July 31,1925, Lotte Calm (“Entwurf”) on 
Sept. 30,1925, Kitty Rix (“Entwurf”) on Sept. 30,1925. Katharina Tichacek (presumably 
Kitty Rix-Tichacek) began work on Nov. 4,1927 and was included as of June 1,1928 in 
the monthly payroll. Rudolf Knörlein (“Keramik”) left on Dec. 15,1926; Julius Zimpel 
(“Entwurf”) had died on Aug. 11,1925. 
As may be gleaned from the archives, most of the workers and employees of the Wiener 
Werkstätte received weekly remuneration. Monthly remuneration surely indicated a 
kind of promotion. For some of the women artists we have documents attesting to this 
employee Status: with reference to Gudrun Baudisch (who began work on a voluntary 
basis on Sept. 20,1926), we know that she was active as a “designer and executor of 
ceramics for payment” as of Jan. 10,1927, and as of Jan. 6,1928, she appears on the 
monthly pay roster. Mathilda Flögl (“Entwurf") appears in the “Monatsgehalt” (monthly 
payroll) as of Jan. 1,1926, as did Maria Strauss-Likarz. Erna Kopriva, who entered on 
July 19,1926, appears in the monthly pay roster as of Aug. 1,1928.
