Emil Doepler “the Younger” (1855 – 1922) was an illustrator, decorative artist, and art teacher in the German Art Nouveau style. Doepler’s design of the German eagle was the official coat of arms from 1919 until 1928, after which it was still used in a limited capacity. He was known as “the Younger” because his father was Carl Emil Doepler, who was also an artist, and was the costume designer for Wagner’s Ring cycle.
