Ernst Marlier was the son of Philipp Marlier (royal Bavarian chief post commissioner or chief post commissioner; † 1901 or 1902) and his second wife Mathilda Marlier born. Forks. After completing a commercial training at the Fuchs accounting book factory , he served in the Infantry Regiment No. 22 in Kassel from 1895–1897 and moved to Nuremberg in 1899. There he was the owner of the Micado mail order business . Presumably since then he was also involved in the Nuremberg coal wholesaler of his half-brother Julius Marlier (* 1852). In 1903, however, he went to Berlin, where he first lived in Kurfürstenstrasse 173a (corner of Dennewitzstrasse) in Tiergarten , and later in Sternstrasse 22 in Lichterfelde . He founded various companies for pharmaceutical products, such as the Chemische Fabrik Dr. Schröder GmbH , the chemical factory Dr. Hartmann GmbH and the chemical factory Dr. Wagner & Marlier .

In 1905, the Pharmaceutical Institute of the University of Berlin determined that Marlier's remedies consisted mainly of tartaric acid , citric acid , sodium chloride and egg yolk . As early as 1907, the Berlin police headquarters warned against the preparations from Marlier, since "they do not have the properties that are attributed to them in the praises." The pharmaceutical and medical preparations sold by Marlier included Antiposition , Antineurasthin , Renascin , Slankal , Levathin , Visnervin , Vitalito and Hämasol . In the same year the German Reich banned the means Antiposition and Antineurasthin . Marlier was convicted several times, in 1904 for trespassing and simple bodily harm and in 1906 for illegal trade in poisons and medicines. In spite of this, he became wealthy and in these years achieved a considerable annual income of around 100,000 marks . He tried several times to be awarded medals and titles , and he actually received at least the title of royal Prussian Kommerzienrat . Regardless of this striving for official recognition within the framework of bourgeois values, he was again exposed to criminal proceedings in 1912, now for gross nonsense, physical harassment, insulting officials and resistance to state power.

At the end of 1914, Marlier commissioned the Berlin architect Paul Baumgarten to build a stately villa in the Alsen colony on the Großer Wannsee . He sold the villa in 1921 for inflation-based 2.3 million marks to the industrialist Friedrich Minoux , who in 1940 at the SS , close by Nordhav Foundation was forced to sell. On January 20, 1942, the Wannsee Conference took place in this house .

After the sale of the Wannsee villa, Ernst Marlier lived initially in Berlin-Zehlendorf and from 1926 to 1928 in Basel . Then he moved to Lugano , where he was never reported to the police. His further fate and date of death are unknown.
