Emil Werner Baule was born shortly before the start of the founding period of the German Empire in house Damm 10 in Peine as the son of a well-known tailor. There he grew up in the vicinity of centuries-old and at the same time representative half-timbered houses ; Impressions that would shape his extensive life's work to the end. After finishing school, the gifted student first studied engineering and architecture at the Technical University of Hanover from the winter semester 1894/1895 and then painting and graphics in Munich .

One of Baule's earliest architectural works was the Berggasthaus Niedersachsen , built in 1898 for Hannoversche Straßenbahn AG (only preserved in outbuildings) in the listed park on Gehrdener Berg designed by Julius Trip : the facilities were intended to enliven excursions using tram line 10 to Gehrden .

After classicism and realism had changed into a new form of romanticism at the end of the 19th century and the visual arts created new possibilities of expression with photography, Emil Werner Baule became one of the leading designers in Art Nouveau . Finally he was appointed to the Hanover School of Applied Arts on Friedrichswall .

Baule married his Dora during the imperial era; the couple had several children. In 1912 he traveled to the town of Schwalenberg in Lippe for the first time , which he called his “fairytale castle” for life.

In Hanover, for example, Baule redesigned the Pelikan-Werke company logo , designed various advertising brands for the company and created “instructions for art writing ” for the Scriptol brand .

Baule also works for companies from Hanover such as Bahlsen and Sprengel .

Due to a stomach ailment, Baule did not take part in the First World War as a soldier . So he could continue to devote himself to his passion, painting, while his wife took care of the fees.

During the Weimar Republic , Baule founded his “Painting School for Applied and Free Art” in Hanover, where he taught almost a whole generation of budding artists. The ceramic artist Gertrud Kraut was one of his well-known students .

In 1921, Baule became a member of the Hanover Art Association . Also in the 1920s, Baule worked as a furniture designer in the Art Nouveau forms for various large companies.

At the height of the German hyperinflation , the Peine publisher Rudolf Rother won over the painter to illustrate a book for the 700th anniversary of the city of Peine on August 26, 1923.

In 1924 Emil Werner Baule designed the coat of arms for his hometown Peine; An earlier coat of arms of the Peine district goes back to him.

For Baule's studio in Hanover, which was visited by numerous artists and guests, the term “Hotel Baule” had meanwhile become established. In 1925 Emil Werner Baule met one of his greatest admirers, District Administrator Waldow Ritzler , who brought Baule to calendar art. As a result, hundreds of pen drawings were created over almost two decades , with which Baule - without knowing it - captured a world that was often built in the 18th and 19th centuries and which was soon to be destroyed forever.

In the wake of the Great Depression, Baule's sons went to the USA in the late 1920s . When District Administrator Waldow Ritzler was transferred to Peine in the same position on October 1, 1932 after the former Isenhagen district was dissolved, Baule also stayed increasingly in his hometown. Due to his personality and his successes in painting, graphics, writing and heraldry, he was elected chairman of the Low German section of the artists' cooperative, a position that he retained until the end of the Second World War.

Emil Werner Baule died in 1953 in what is now Ahlem, a district in Hanover.
