Alongside Fritz Riemann, Schottländer was one of the preferred playing partners of the German world-class player Adolf Anderssen in Breslau chess cafes in the 1870s .

Schottländer is also referred to as the chess teacher Eduard Lasker (later Edward Lasker ).
Schottländer took part in the chess boom in Germany in the 1880s; He was a participant in the first congress of the German Chess Federation in Leipzig in 1879 , then also at the congresses in Nuremberg in 1883 , in Hamburg in 1885 and in Dresden in 1892 , but his weak physical condition did not allow him to continue playing in tournaments.
