Life

Born in 1854 in the royal seat of the Kingdom of Hanover , Waegener attended the Royal Prussian Academy of the Arts in Berlin from 1876 to 1879 as a student of Fritz Schaper . From 1879 to 1881 he worked as a master student for three years in the master workshop of the sculptor Reinhold Begas . During this period he was represented for the first time at the Academy exhibition in 1880 with a "genre figure".

After his master course Waegener walked with the help of a scholarship to Italy , where he was from 1881 to 1882 in Rome was staying, and deepened in genre subjects, such as in the form of its - later - 1886 bronze statuette created "Girl with a cat in jest". Also in 1886 he sent again to the Berlin Academy exhibition.

In 1893 Waegener took part in the Great Berlin Art Exhibition , in which he was awarded a prize for his figure of the Hannovera for the Old Town Hall of Hanover , which he created in the same year . He also made his bronze bust of Arthur Gwinner , which had passed into private ownership , in 1893.

In 1896 Waegener applied unsuccessfully to help design Berlin's Siegesallee . From 1899 he took part in the exhibitions of the Berlin Secession with his works , of which he was listed as a full member until 1912.

Waegener, artist friend of Max Klinger , took part in the design of the Kaiser Wilhelm National Monument .

Around 1900 Waegener designed a splendid vase, which the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin (KPM) replicated in porcelain with overflow glaze with a height of more than 1 meter .

Martin Luther - cemetery of the Dorotheenstadt and Friedrichswerder communities ;
Marble copy after Schadow's statue in Wittenberg
Waegener's Goethe monument in front of the University square in Strasbourg
Relief of the Steglitz community leader Julius Zimmermann (1834–1902) in the Steglitz cemetery

After Waegener had already been awarded the Roman Prize twice, a jury awarded the first prize worth 3,000 marks for the Goethe monument planned in Strasbourg from 71 submitted drafts of Waegener's work . The monument to the young Johann Wolfgang von Goethe , which Waegener's friend Jeremias Christensen had helped to build, was finally erected there in 1904. In the same year Waegener was awarded the title of professor.

In 1909 Waegener proposed a copy of the Wittenberg Luther statue created by Schadow for the Dorotheenstädtische church made of marble . Waegener Luther was later to Dorotheenstadt cemetery translocated .

In 1913 Ernst Waegener designed the bronze bust of the astronomer Wilhelm Julius Foerster for the Royal Observatory in Berlin-Babelsberg , which he later showed at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition.

Waegener can be found in Berlin's address books in the period from 1890 to 1920; there he was led from 1915 with the title of professor. The exact date and place of death could not yet be determined.
