Five years later he started to number and comment his artworks, which he collected in 29 «Bildbüchern (books of pictures)».
In the winter months from 1905 to 1907 he stayed in the Todtnauer Hütte, where a lot of his oil studies arise.
The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.
In 1927 he had an exhibition with artists like Curt Liebich, Julius Heffner, Wilhelm Nagel, Wilhelm Wickertsheimer a.o., they called themselves «Die Schwarzwälder (the Black Forests)». He died on the 20th of March in 1935 in Hinterzarten. Today his works are extremely appreciated because the snowy landscape present the untouched nature.

A group of white ducks frolics on the sandy morass of a lakeshore. Scattered across the light blue sky, individual clouds are reflected in the smooth mirror of the water. This is a classic work by the impressionist Munich painter mogul Alexander Koester, who was affectionately nicknamed «Enten-Koester (duck-Koester)» for good reason. Among the collectors and admirers of his lifelike and equally sentimental depictions of poultry were illustrious personalities from the high nobility, such as the Italian King Victor Emmanuel III, Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria or German Emperor Wilhelm II. The palpable, deeply felt, almost touching interest of the «Enten-Koester (duck-Koester)» in his favorite animals and the impression of fleeting momentariness reinforced by his loose, airy painting style make the works of the student of the Akademie Karlsruhe significant examples of animal painting around 1900, which to this day unfold their delightful, enchanting effect through timeless and simple beauty.
