Im Jahr 1892 zog seine Familie nach Hamburg, w\u00e4hrend die Choleraepidemie in der Stadt w\u00fctete, jedoch blieb die Familie verschont. K\u00f6hler besuchte bereits mit f\u00fcnf Jahren die Grundschule. In seinen Jugendjahren reiste er auf Handelsschiffen \u00fcber die Weltmeere.<\/p>\n
Von 1905 bis 1907 besuchte er die Kunstgewerbeschule Hamburg und Altona. Alfred Lichtwark, der damalige Direktor der Hamburger Kunsthalle, erkannte K\u00f6hlers Talent und riet ihm, die Hochschule in Weimar zu besuchen. Von 1909 bis 1912 studierte er an der Kunstgewerbeschule Weimar, zun\u00e4chst bei Max Thedy und sp\u00e4ter als Meistersch\u00fcler beim Landschaftsmaler Theodor Hagen.<\/p>\n
Nach dem Studium richtete sich K\u00f6hler f\u00fcr kurze Zeit ein Atelier in Hamburg ein. Ab 1913 war er in D\u00fcsseldorf t\u00e4tig. W\u00e4hrend der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus war er Mitglied der militaristischen K\u00fcnstlergruppe Westfront und der Reichskammer der bildenden K\u00fcnste. F\u00fcr diese Zeit ist seine Teilnahme an 18 Ausstellungen sicher belegt.<\/p>\n
Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden seine Wohnung und sein Atelier in D\u00fcsseldorf-Oberkassel zerst\u00f6rt, woraufhin er nach Berchtesgaden evakuierte. 1945 kehrte er nach D\u00fcsseldorf zur\u00fcck. Sein letztes Atelier befand sich im K\u00fcnstlerhaus des Vereins der D\u00fcsseldorfer K\u00fcnstler auf der Sittarder Stra\u00dfe 5 in D\u00fcsseldorf-Pempelfort.
