Ernst Hörnicke attended elementary school in Zerbst. He then completed an apprenticeship as a machine fitter and worked for a few years in his learned profession.

After the First World War , Hörnicke joined the Communist Party of Germany . In September 1930 Hörnicke was elected as a candidate of the KPD for constituency 10 (Magdeburg) in the Reichstag, to which he belonged until the July elections in 1932.

After the " seizure of power " by the National Socialists , Hörnicke was in " protective custody " in Oranienburg concentration camp for nine months from June 1933 . According to a report by the former SPD MP and fellow prisoner Gerhart Seger , Hörnicke was part of a cleaning crew made up of former MPs that Oranienburg had to clean of the "traces of earlier election campaigns". In the course of the " Operation Grid ", Hörnicke was arrested again on August 23, 1944 and held in Buchenwald concentration camp . In January 1945 he was transferred to the Magdeburg police prison.

A longer stay in a TB sanatorium followed. After that, Hörnicke was a member of the State Commission for State Control of Saxony-Anhalt from October 1948. From 1949 to 1957 he was a manager of various state-owned companies in Halle, Suhl and most recently at VEB Industriewerke Ludwigsfelde.
