Ernst Haase was born in 1894 as the son of the lawyer and politician Hugo Haase and his wife Thea Lichtenstein (1869–1937), a sister of Max Lichtenstein . Hugo Haase was one of the two chairmen of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) from 1911 to 1916 and from 1917 chairman of the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD). In 1919 he was victim of a political assassination attempt.

Haase studied medicine and came to the Moabit Hospital in Berlin as an assistant doctor and then worked as a ward doctor . He concentrated on the treatment of addicts and youth counseling and received training in Vienna in the field of psychotherapeutic treatment methods and psychoanalysis. From 1929 he worked as the head of the welfare office for alcoholics and poison addicts at the Tiergarten Health Department and from 1930 to 1932 he was senior physician in the neurological department of Moabit Hospital, after which he left the hospital and only worked in the welfare office. The facility was closed in the spring of 1933 and Haase lost his offices due to his Jewish descent when the National Socialists came to power . His license to practice medicine was revoked in 1938 , and in March of that year he emigrated to England and in 1940 to Chicago , where he worked as a neurologist.

A plaque in the Moabit hospital commemorates the Jewish doctors who worked here, including Ernst Haase.
