Ernst August Heinrich Scharstein (born April 22, 1877 in Hamburg ; † May 9, 1961 there ) was a German landscape painter .

Life

Ernst Scharstein was born as the son of the market police supervisor Johannes Bernhard Christian Scharstein and his wife Johanna Christina Dorothea Louise, nee. Roggmann was born in their apartment at Hopfenmarkt 31 in Hamburg-Altstadt . He mainly created landscapes in oil or watercolor . At the beginning of the 20th century he lived in Dockenhuden . From 1904 to 1914 or 1915 he was a teacher of decorative and landscape painting at the Hamburg State School of Applied Arts , which was located in the building of what is now the Museum of Art and Industry on Steintorplatz, was expanded in 1910 with barracks on Spaldingstrasse and in 1913 in the new main building of today's , moved from the School of Applied Arts Hamburg am Lerchenfeld to the University of Fine Arts . One of his students was Bernhard Hopp , who was in his painting class before the First World War . In 1905 Scharstein joined the Hamburg Arts and Crafts Association . In February 1908 he was accepted into the Hamburg Trade Association . He wrote an article on the technical nature of watercolors , oil paints and lacquer paints , which appeared in the handbook of the Kunstgewerbe-Verein zu Hamburg , which appeared around October 1908. In the handbook, Ifflandstrasse 12, entrance Schröderstrasse in Hamburg-Hohenfelde is given as his address in the list of members. In the same year he moved to the Dahms house in the former Hamburger Straße 2 (today Kollaustraße ) in Niendorf and lived there until 1913.

On March 16, 1911, at a meeting of the Hamburg Trade Association , Scharstein reported on the type, purpose and furnishings of the exhibition of painted living rooms in the exhibition's own buildings on the Glacischaussee on the Heiligengeistfeld , initiated by Carl Friedrich Hansen and held from April to September 1911 the construction plans and the program. From April 30th, a special exhibition of the Hamburg School of Applied Arts took place in an exhibition building, where works by Scharstein's students were shown. He himself designed, among other things, the paintings in the vestibule of the manorial house of the exhibition of painted living rooms , which were carried out by decorative painters from the Ritter & Hüsing company .

During the First World War , the arts and crafts school ceased teaching and the building was used as a military hospital instead. In the war year 1917, Scharstein was apparently assigned to a work column west of the Eastern Front . On field postcards , each of which he painted on one side and thus elevated it to artist postcards , it can be seen that in July 1917 his place of work was a lime kiln and a roof-tile furnace in the German-occupied city of Vilnius , as well as a ruined house there that his column considered Quarry was used for a new kitchen. From September to at least December he stayed with his column in East Prussia . There they had quarters in Kallweningken near Popelken and then in Alt-Sternberg in the Labiau district . His first quarter in December was in Labiau . From there it went west. Six of these artist cards have been in the holdings of the Altona Museum in Hamburg since 2006 .

An archive photo from the Altona Museum, which shows the museum's 65-strong workforce from around 1922, shows Ernst Scharstein as a freelancer , as well as the painter Carl Appel , who also worked there as a freelancer for years. In 1914 and 1915, Scharstein produced a meridian profile for Schleswig-Holstein , a profile of storm clouds and a profile of the Elbe valley for the Altona Museum , and carried out some lettering. In the years 1916 to 1920 and 1926, together with the Geographical-Artistic Institute Alfred Jacobi in Hamburg, Otto Hartz produced four maps for the museum on the topographical development of Schleswig-Holstein, according to the senior student council at the Christianeum in Altona . From 1916 to 1930 he wrote signs, created explanatory boards and drew maps in the geology , aquarium, and toys and games departments . In 1921 and 1922 he set up various rooms in the farmhouse parlors, which can still be seen in the museum today. In 1928 four maps of Scharstein's by Otto Hartz under the title Four Maps on the History of Schleswig-Holstein were published by Hans Ruhe Verlag in Altona with an accompanying booklet. Also in 1928 the Heimatbuch Kreis Pinneberg in Holstein was published by Düsseldorf Verlag für Architektur- Industrie- und Stadt-Werke , with a map of the Pinneberg district drawn by Ernst Scharstein. In 1931 he carved and painted three display groups that depict sturgeon trapping , the extraction of caviar and its further processing. They were exhibited in the Altona Museum in the same year and were intended for advertising purposes. The museum is also in possession of a poem by Ernst Scharstein about toys.

From around November 1936, Scharstein belonged to the newly founded exhibition management , which was brought into being by the East Hanover regional management of the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts . The exhibition management had the task of organizing a large Gau exhibition annually in the Gau Ost-Hannover as well as other exhibitions as sales and traveling exhibitions. The painter Hugo Friedrich Hartmann was chairman . Other members of the exhibition management were the painters Arthur Siebelist and Frido Witte , the district culture warden Friedrich Esser, the chairman of the district court East Hanover Walter Gravenhorst and the factory owner Arnold Mergell ( Harburger Oelwerke Brinckman and Mergell , Hobum for short , founded in 1896 by Mergell and Brinckmann as linseed oil - and varnish factory Brinckmann ). The first Gau exhibition took place from December 6th to 27th in the Museum Lüneburg under the patronage of Gau leader Otto Telschow .

In 1937 Ernst Scharstein moved to house 162 in Neugraben and in 1949 to Cuxhavener Straße 246 in Hausbruch , where he lived until his death in 1961. His wife lived there a year longer. Ernst Scharstein was buried in the New Harburg Cemetery. In August 2004 the rest period for the grave expired , the grave no longer exists.

family

Ernst Scharstein was with Louise Maria Auguste, geb. Timm married and had several children with her. On May 17, 1901, their son Ernst Max Charly Scharstein was born in Dockenhuden. The doctoral engineer and former authorized signatory in the Nuremberg machine and apparatus factory of Siemens-Schuckertwerke (today Siemens ) died on February 12, 1968 as a result of a traffic accident. Three of his publications are listed in the catalog of the German National Library . With his wife Pauline, geb. Kraus , he had several children, including Hans Scharstein, who was born in Nuremberg in January 1942 as the fourth child and who published The Mechanism of Setpoint Adjustment in Course Control of the Red Wood Ant (Formica polyctena) in 1975 . He held a chair for animal physiology at the Institute for Zoology at the University of Cologne .
