Ernst Gundolf
Ernst Gundolf (* 1881 in Darmstadt , † 1945 in London ) was a German author and draftsman.
Ernst Gundolf was the son of the Jewish mathematician Sigmund Gundelfinger (professor at the Technical University of Darmstadt) and the younger brother of the Germanist Friedrich Gundolf . Like him, he belonged to the circle around Stefan George , where he was considered a "Wisdom Council" or "Wisdom Advisory Board".
However, Ernst Gundolf did not aim for office or career and never pursued a profession. He made pen drawings almost every day and wrote very few texts. Gundolf avoided the public and lived quite ascetically.
After imprisonment in a concentration camp , he left Germany and emigrated to England. Shortly before the end of World War II, he fell ill and died.
