Ernst Gottschalk began training as a wood carver in 1892 at the age of 15 at the Düsseldorf School of Applied Arts . From 1904 to 1905 he studied at the Art School at Halleschen Tor in Berlin and, after working in Jekaterinoslaw , southern Russia, continued his studies from 1907 to 1910 at the Düsseldorf Art Academy under Rudolf Bosselt and Hubert Netzer .
Years as an artist
In the period from 1910 until his death in 1942, Gottschalk was a free artist member of the “ Young Rhineland ” association and later, after its dissolution, until 1938, a member of the “Rhenish Secession” association. He cultivated friendships with painters such as Otto Dix , Otto Pankok , Heinrich Nauen (the teacher from Dix), Werner Gilles and sculptors such as Ernst Barlach , Georg Kolbe , Wilhelm Lehmbruck and Arno Breker , which he renounced as this for the Nazis to began to work, which Gottschalk refused.

In 1935 Gottschalk helped the Jewish sculptor Bernhard Sopher to escape at the last minute and thus saved him from internment in a camp and probably from certain death.
