Heinrich Koch studied mural painting at the Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau between 1922-1928, before working as an interior designer in Halle an der Saale until 1929. From 1930, he studied photography at Burg Giebichenstein under Hans Finsler, becoming his assistant and, in 1932, his successor. The photography class was closed in 1933 by the National Socialists, forcing Koch to emigrate to Prague, where he tragically died in a car accident in 1934.
