'''Dietrich Langko''' (1 June 1819, [[Hamburg]] - 8 November 1896, [[Munich]]) was a German landscape painter; especially known for his winter scenes.

== Biography ==
He came from a humble background. After finishing primary school, he was apprenticed as a theatrical stage painter in Hamburg. He was, however, more interested in landscape painting, so he took private lessons, once a week, from . His first paintings were created near the estuaries of the [[Elbe River]]. In 1832, he became a member of the (Artists' Association).

In 1840, with Gensler's help, he obtained a scholarship that enabled him to study at the [[Academy of Fine Arts, Munich]]. Once there, he found a place in the circle of painters associated with [[Christian Ernst Bernhard Morgenstern|Christian Morgenstern]], who was also from Hamburg.

Although he was attending the Academy, the primary influence on his style, by his own account, came from [[Albert Zimmermann]], whose private painting school in [[Ebersberg]] he attended for several Summers. By the end of the decade, he was being asked to participate in exhibitions by the [[Kunstverein München]]. In 1851, he was able to go on a study trip to Paris with [[Carl Ebert (painter)|Carl Ebert]], [[Eduard Schleich the Elder|Eduard Schleich]] and [[Carl Spitzweg]].

In 1869, Schleich organized a large exhibition at the [[Glaspalast (Munich)|Glaspalast]], which turned out to be Langko's career breakthrough.

His landscapes eventually came to encompass the [[Bavarian Oberland]], as well as his native [[Northern Germany]].
