Life

At the age of 16 he was drafted into the German armed forces. After being captured by the Americans and French, he completed a teaching degree in Bamberg from 1946 to 1949 .

Lifetime work and volunteer work
Ernst Löschner directed the home choir of Eghalanda Gmoi z 'Hamburg, which he founded in Hamburg in 1960, for almost half a century . The choir made 450 appearances, including in Italy , Belgium , France , Austria , Switzerland , Hungary and Denmark . After the political change, especially the Czech Republic and Slovakia with their former German settlement areas, the Bohemian Forest , the Ore Mountains , the Giant Mountains , Moravia and the Egerland were the target of visits and appearances. Here, with the help of music, contacts were established with the Germans who had stayed in their homeland, but it also helped to normalize the relationship between Germans and Czechs in line with the European idea. The choir disbanded in 2004 due to the age of the members.
The repertoire of the choir included not only Egerland songs, but also folk songs from all over the German-speaking area and from several European countries - some in their original language.
