Life

Elli Hirsch was trained in Berlin at the art school and the teaching institute of the Kunstgewerbemuseum ; her teacher was Emil Doepler . Her first well-known work is an advertising poster for bock beer from 1899, which was extensively discussed in the magazine Propaganda . In the same mosaic style in which she designed this poster, she created her early series of pictures for Stollwerck , such as the series “German Masters”, in which she also portrayed people from Doepler's circle of friends. A total of over 100 pictures that Elli Hirsch created for Stollwerck over the course of eight years have survived. In addition, she designed packaging, posters, advertisements, bookplates and illustrations.

Elli Hirsch married her former teacher Doepler in 1909. After his death in 1922, they kept their shared apartment on Uhlandstrasse in Berlin until they were expelled from it during the Nazi era . In autumn 1942 she was deported to Theresienstadt . There she died in the so-called "old people's home".
