  At the outbreak of the First World War, Werner Peiner volunteered to the army. After the war, Peiner studied at the Duesseldorf art academy from 1919 after taking private lessons with Wilhelm Doeringer, a friend of his father. In the 1920s he guested and painted “Nette” Faymonville in the Burghotel zu Kronenburg in the Eifel at Katharina. During this time, he joined Fritz Burmann and Richard Gessner to the "Dreimmann-Bund". In 1923, Peiner Marie Therese married "Resi" Lauffs and moved to Bonn to the in -laws. In Duesseldorf he set up a studio. Through the mediation of his friends, architect Emil Fahrkamp and the entrepreneur Walter Kruspig (General Director of Rhenania-Ossag, today's Shell Deutschland Oil GmbH), he received orders for the design of church, insurance and industrial buildings. In 1931 Peiner settled in Kronenburg, where he redesigned several houses. Street lanterns designed by Peiner are still there today. In 1933 he was appointed to the Duesseldorf art academy by Julius Paul Junghans as the successor to Heinrich Campendonck as a professor of monumental painting. His painting "Deutsche Earth" was personally presented as a gift from the city of Mechernich by the Schleiden district administrator Josef Schramm and the Schleiden NSDAP district manager Franz Binz Adolf Hitler. The relationship with Peter Grund, the new director of the Duesseldorf Academy, was characterized by tensions. In 1936 he implemented his own academy at Hermann Goering; First as the Landakademie Kronenburg of the State Art Academy Duesseldorf. As a "Hermann Goering Master School for Painting", it was independent under the direction of Peiners in 1938. Students in Peiners in Kronenburg were u. Rolf Dettmann, Heinz Hindorf, Hans Lohbeck, Willi Sitte and Willi Wewer. Peiner designed Gobelins for the new Reich Chancellery; A female act of him hung over Goering's bed. In 1937 Peiner became a member of the NSDAP and the Prussian Academy of the Arts. In 1944 he was added to the special list of the goddeted list by Adolf Hitlier. In 1948 he acquired the dilapidated Haus Vorst in Leichlingen/Rhineland, which he restored for many years and where he lived and worked until his death. Peiner was mainly based on old masters, for example on the minutically painting Pieter Bruegel of the elderly. With his preference for a realistic art view, he was not only successful with his private clients. In the 1920s, in which he painted in the style of the new objectivity, he was a sought -after portrait painter in the Rhineland. The interest of science applies to his gobelin mandate, the cycle "German fate battles" for the marble organ, also called Lange Halle, the new Reich Chancellery in Berlin, whose designs are exhibited in the Bonn Rheinische State Museum Bonn. He was represented with 33 works on the large German art exhibitions in the Munich House of German Art. In the post-war period, Peiner Gobelin created for the Gerling Group and the Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie. Adam and Eva are shown in our picture in paradise: "So God created man as his image; he created him as the image of God. As a man and woman, he created her. God blessed her and God said to them: Be fertile and increased you , populates the earth, subjugate you and prevails over the fish of the sea, over the birds of heaven and over all animals that are stirring in the country. " (Gen 1.27-28)
