Life
Habermann worked as a legal assistant in the Wilmersdorfer municipal administration from November 12, 1896.

On April 1, 1907, Deutsch-Wilmersdorf left the Teltow district and became an independent urban district . On April 24, 1907, the magistrate of the newly created town of Deutsch-Wilmersdorf elected him mayor. In 1909 he was taken over by Kaiser Wilhelm II.Appointed Lord Mayor, which he remained until Greater Berlin was founded in 1920.
When workers 'and soldiers' councils took power during the November Revolution , the mayor and the entire magistrate were asked to remain in office. The councilors appeared at the city council , took their seats on the spectator benches and kept quiet. From 1920 to 1933 Habermann worked as an unpaid city councilor. He was a member of the Berlin Masonic Lodge Zu den drei Lilien .
In 1956, on the occasion of his 90th birthday, he received the honorary title of City Elder of Berlin from the City of Berlin for his services in local politics . The Habermann square , a plaque on Habermann course and the Ernst-Habermann primary school, Babelsberg Street 24/25, remember him.
