Paczka-Wagner was born in Göttingen in 1864 as the daughter of the important national economist Adolph Wagner.

She then studied with Johann Caspar Herterich at the Munich Art Academy and at a private academy in Paris. She was married to the Hungarian painter Franz Paczka since 1890 and was friends with Max Klinger and Karl Stauffer-Bem. Cornelia Paczka-Wagner exhibited in Berlin, Budapest, Hanover, Frankfurt a. M., Munich, and Dresden. In 1910, she was represented at the Venice Biennale and, in 1926, at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition.
