Ernst Rose
Heinrich Ernst Rose (born June 12, 1821 in Nöschenrode ; † before 1893) was a German marble master and photographer .
Life
Ernst Rose was born as the son of the miner Johann Heinrich Rose , who was in the service of the Counts of Stolberg-Wernigerode , at the Voigtstiegmühle , which at that time was also used as a marble mill for grinding the marble broken on the Hartenberg near Elbingerode (Harz) . Johanne Marie Sophie née Volmer was his mother.
Like his father, Ernst Rose first became a Count of Stolberg and Wernigerödischer miner. But the profession he had learned had no future prospects in the middle of the 19th century. Mining in the Harz mining region was hardly worthwhile and more and more mines, including that in which Ernst Rose was employed, came to a standstill.
Rose therefore looked for another source of income. After the first photo studios were opened in German-speaking countries in the 1840s, Rose also began to be interested in the new medium of photography . At the end of the 1850s, he set up the first photo studio in the city and county of Wernigerode in the house where he was born . He called it a photographer. Studio for portraits and landscapes . In 1864 he was accepted as "Marble Master in Voigtstieg near Wernigerode" in the Photographische Verein zu Berlin . His photographs were soon very popular, so that he opened additional branches first in Quedlinburg and then in Thale . In addition to portraits that he made in his three photo studios, he went public with landscape photos from the Harz Mountains , which are today among the earliest documentary photos of this landscape.
Since the 1890s, several of his photos appeared in large numbers on postcards and thus found greater circulation.
On April 29, 1849, Ernst Rose married Johanne Louise Charlotte née Basse in the Wernigerode Castle Church . The son Friedrich (Fritz) Rose, who had also learned the profession of photographer, emerged from the marriage. With the increase in tourism in the Harz region, the latter moved the photo studio taken over from their father from the Mühlental to the Nicolaiplatz 1 building in the city center of Wernigerode. After his death, this photo studio went to the photographer Hildegard Riekewolt.
